NJ Sen. Menendez Now Blocking E-Verify
By Roy Beck, Thursday, July 24, 2008, 11:13 AM
E-Verify (the effective program to keep illegal aliens out of U.S. jobs) now is facing danger in the Senate, as well as the House (see my previous blogs on House troubles).
The NumbersUSA Capitol Hill Team has been told that Sen. Menendez (D-N.J.) has put a "hold" on legislation to reauthorize the E-Verify workplace verification program. That means the Senate is barred from voting to keep it alive. Without a vote, E-Verify will die in November.
Our understanding is that Sen. Menendez is blocking the most effective tool against illegal immigration in order to get something else that he wants. He will allow an E-Verify vote if he is allowed to give hundreds of thousands of higher skilled American jobs permanently to hundreds of thousands of additional immigrants.
At a time when higher skilled Americans and students aspiring to those jobs are finding a depressed job market, Sen. Menendez is insisting on flooding their occupations with even more foreign workers. And if he doesn't get his way, he will take away the best tool that employers have to keep illegal foreign workers from taking jobs at every rung of the ladder, but especially at the lower-skilled job level.
This outrageously callous behavior toward American workers during a time of employment shrinkage is typical for Sen. Menendez. His lifetime immigration voting has earned him an F-minus in the category of protecting American workers from unfair foreign labor competition. And his overall career immigration-reduction grade (all categories) is an F. Take a look at his grades: http://grades.betterimmigration.com/tes ... VIPID=54...
When it comes to favoring foreign workers (and the greedy employers who use them to depress wages) over struggling American workers, Sen. Menendez has no shame. But we can hope to persuade his Democratic Senate colleagues that this will bring great embarrassment to them if they don't persuade Sen. Menendez to release his death grip on the E-Verify system before he chokes it to death.
NumbersUSA members, please check your Action Buffet corkboards for actions you can take to save the E-Verify system that is at the heart of Arizona, Oklahoma, Georgia and many county and city laws attempting to reduce illegal immigration in their jurisdiction.

Menendez is a traitor who's only concern is to promote his ethno-centric agenda at the expense of this country and his citizens! Enough already with these so called elected represenatives and their ethno-only policies!
