NO AMNESTY BILL NEEDS YOUR HELP TODAY

Tell Congress to Sign the SAVE Act Petition.

Alert: Supporters of the enforcement-only SAVE Act (Secure America with Verification Enforcement; H.R. 4088) have already gained more than two-thirds of the signers needed to force a vote in the U.S. House. Click to view the 185 bi-partisan signers of the Discharge Petition filed by Rep. Thelma Drake (R-Va.) March 11.

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.

Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) introduced the SAVE Act emphasizing the principles of Attrition Through Enforcement.

The SAVE Act would:

1. increase border patrol agents by 8,000, utilize new technology and fencing to secure the border;

2. expand specialized enforcement programs, such as the "Tunnel Task Force";

3. and, address the "jobs magnet" by strengthening The Employment Verification Program (E-Verify) to close security gaps, address loopholes, and make it mandatory for employers.

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. However, several Democrats -- including SAVE Act sponsor Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) -- were among the first to sign the discharge petition to go around Speaker Pelosi.

DO NOT BE SILENCED BY ANYONE STAND UP! MAKE YOUR VOICE HEARD!
