As the bill that follows was announced, the US Chamber of Commerce stated that they were against such bills and would need additional time to study such legislation. I wonder if indeed this Chamber believes they really represent America. I think they should change their name to the Mexican Chamber of Commerce and am in the process of writing to tell them so.
Rep. Shuler to Introduce Enforcement-Only Bill Soon (October 31) A new immigration enforcement bill that would remove the jobs magnet for illegal immigration is expected to be introduced in the House very soon. The SAVE Act (Secure America with Verification Enforcement) will be sponsored by Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) and is expected to have bi-partisan support. NumbersUSA believes this bill 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. Specifically, The SAVE Act would eventually require every employee in America to go through the E-Verify system, identifying all illegal aliens and removing any "glitches" that once allowed them to pass through the system and into the workforce undetected.
Perhaps this bill doesn't go far enough, but it certainly appears on the surface to be headed in the proper direction.
