America was indebted to immigration for her settlement and prosperity. That part of America which had encouraged them most had advanced most rapidly in population, agriculture and the arts.

STEP 1: Write your Congressperson

UPDATE: Tuesday, supporters of the SAVE Act filed a discharge petition in the House of Representatives in an attempt to force a vote on the House floor! Tell your members of Congress NOT to sign the petition.

The SAVE Act is Co-Sponsored by Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC) and Rep Brian Bilbray (R-CA), who now chairs Tom Tancredo’s Immigration Reform Caucus. Two identical bills have been introduced in the Senate by Mark Pryor (D-AR), Mary Landrieu (D-LA) and David Vitter (R-LA).

The SAVE Act is an enforcement-only immigration bill that would require approximately six million employers to verify the work status of more than 130 million workers within four years using a system that has an error rate of almost 10%!

If this law were in place now, the errors in the SSA database alone could result in 2.5 million people a year being misidentified as unauthorized for employment, even US Citizens!

It would make it easier for the government to put religious and humanitarian workers behind bars for so-called “alien smuggling” and waste millions of tax-payer dollars on enforcement, detention and deportation programs that have been tried for the last twenty years and failed to end unauthorized immigration.
