Introduction of SAVE Act Discharge Petition Expected

(March 11) The Washington Times is reporting that House Republican leaders will endorse a discharge petition this afternoon for the enforcement-only SAVE Act (Secure America with Verification Enforcement; H.R. 408.

If the petition collects 218 House signatures, a simple majority, the bill can bypass the committee process and be placed on the House floor for a vote, regardless of any objections by Democratic leaders. That bill -- with 151 bi-partisan signers in the House and Senate -- would drive millions of illegal aliens out of their jobs by requiring mandatory employment eligibility verification.

The Washington Times is also reporting that Democrats are still working on alternative plans for the immigration debate. Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) has been pushing a plan to grant legal work permits for millions of illegal aliens currently holding jobs and huge increases in H-2B and H-1B visas for all types of foreign workers.
