Tell Congress to Support the SAVE Act to counter the Amnesty Push by Pelosi.
Alert: The SAVE Act (Secure America with Verification Enforcement; H.R. 4088) is the hardest-hitting package of immigration enforcement measures seen yet -- one that would require jail time for illegal immigrants caught crossing the border, make it harder for them to open bank accounts and compel them to communicate in English when dealing with federal agencies.
Supporters of the enforcement-only SAVE Act have already gained more than two-thirds of the signers needed to force a vote in the U.S. House.
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.
It was reported last week 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. 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.
The Bill would:
1. Block federal funding from cities that bar their police from asking about immigration status.
2. Give the Department of Homeland Security the authority to use information from the Social Security Administration to target illegal immigrants.
3. Require construction of 700 miles of fencing along the Southern border, not including vehicle barriers. (Source: Numbers USA)
