Thread: SAVE Act now has 133 cosponsors

The list of cosponsors is still growing!

More Members Sign Onto SAVE Act


Rep. Heath Shuler’s (D-N.C.) SAVE Act (Secure America with Verification Enforcement [H.R. 4088]) now has 133 bipartisan signers in the House, with two versions also in the Senate. The SAVE Act will require all employers to use the electronic verification system to keep illegal aliens out of U.S. jobs. NumbersUSA believes that this legislation originating on the Democratic side of the House is just the vehicle to give us a chance to actually pass immigration legislation through a Democratic-controlled Congress that would significantly improve the lives of most Americans. "It's the one [immigration] bill that will pass this Congress," said Congressional Immigration Reform Caucus Chairman Brian Bilbray (R-Calif.) in an interview with The Hill. "We have to make this about illegal employment and crack down on employers."

There are 87 Republicans and 46 Democrats that have signed on to date. Go here for the list of those that have signed on:

Thanks MW!! :P

Reply from Ohio's Senator Brown regarding the SAVE Act.

Dear Mr. Magyart:

Thank you for expressing your support for S.2368, the Secure America through Verification and Enforcement (SAVE) Act of 2007.

S.2368 would create a permanent mandatory employment verification system, penalize employers for failing to correct questionable employee information, and establish a reward program within the Department of Homeland Security to assist in the elimination of commercial operations that produce fraudulent employment documents.

I have supported legislation to curb illegal immigration by increasing criminal penalties for immigrant smuggling and document fraud, eliminating the use of government documents that are easily forged, and doubling the number of border patrol guards. Employment opportunities are what drive illegal immigration. Better enforcement and tougher penalties for both undocumented immigrants and their lawbreaking employers are the way to fight unauthorized employment. Employment opportunities are what drive illegal immigration.

S.2368 is currently under consideration by the Senate Judiciary Committee, and should it come for a vote before the full Senate I will certainly keep your views in mind.

Thank you again for contacting me.


Sincerely,
Sherrod Brown

But it will never see the light of day as long as Piglosi and the Dems are running the House

He needs to be reminded that he got his job because DeWine was horrible on immigration.

If your Reps names not on the list, call or write and ask why!
