E-Verify gains momentum as it clears judiciary committee
By Frosty Wooldridge
Roy Beck, director of www.NumbersUSA.org , leads the battle to enact E-Verify to ensure that American workers take American jobs. It will revolutionize the illegal immigration issue. If employers cannot hire illegal migrants, those migrants must go home on their own dime.
“It feels good investing in a winner, doesn’t it?” said Beck. “NumbersUSA is winning on E-Verify in Congress! And we’re beginning to break through nationally on several parts of the immigration issue.
“You’ve heard by now, I’m sure, that the House Judiciary Committee voted to pass H.R. 2885, the 50-state, mandatory E-Verify bill, last Wednesday. Fortunately, they did not add amendments that would have killed the bill before it even reached the House floor.
“The unique coalition between NumbersUSA, lawmakers, and most business lobbies like the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the National Restaurant Association remains in place. E-Verify laws passed by Arizona, Georgia, and several other pioneering states convinced business lobbies that E-Verify is inevitable and, for most businesses, highly desirable.
“This rare moment of agreement means E-Verify can become the law of the land this year, but only if we push harder than we’ve ever pushed before on anything.
“Then, last Thursday, our agenda moved forward some more when the Republican candidates for president discussed immigration issues at the Florida debate sponsored by Fox New Channel and Google.
“In a breakthrough, one candidate (Mitt Romney) endorsed the E-Verify program by name. This is a first for a major presidential candidate. Other candidates called more vaguely for worker verification. We are hoping more candidates will soon endorse E-Verify. (More on the candidates’ immigration positions below.)
“Did you see our NumbersUSA TV ad that ran on Fox News Channel during the debate? Here’s the ad; It was the second ad run during the debate, which was seen by 6 million viewers. Our ad pointed out that immigration must be reduced during this time of sky-high unemployment. As you can see, suddenly our issue is everywhere, and it’s all moving in our direction.
“Yes, it feels good to back a winner! NumbersUSA is winning. Today we need your financial support more than we ever have in our history. Our opportunities to change national policy have never been greater. Unsurprisingly, our expenses have never been higher. And our opponents enjoy a huge financial advantage over us.
“Our most important agenda item this year is to get E-Verify passed by the entire House of Representatives, then inside a larger bill in the U.S. Senate, and then receive Pres. Obama’s signature. Sound tough? Sure it is.”
But we believe we can do it, but we’ll need lots of help. Here’s what we’re doing to push this:
- We’ve already sent half a million faxes to Congress on behalf of our members on E-Verify. We need at least half a million more! (Very expensive–please help!)
- For the first timeever NumbersUSA is providing toll-free numbers so that people are encouraged to make more of the all-important phone calls to Congress. (High priced, but it’s worth it!)
- Webcasts that bring our NumbersUSA team right into your home and office as the action happens. Sometime email just doesn’t say enough.
- Of course, Rosemary Jenks and her crack team of Capitol Hill strategists work with Members of Congress everyday. They made sure this national, mandatory E-Verify bill is tough and effective. (Please help us pay for this!)
- Our Capitol Hill team has identified Members of Congress who are potential roadblocks to this bill. We are going into their districts to advertise. (SUPER expensive! We need your help to win!)
“Did you know that we have prepared a Presidential Candidate Immigration Gradecard?” said Beck. “This is a new NumbersUSA tool that everyone interested in immigration and the upcoming election must look at. You may be shocked at what you find! The candidates mostly score very, very low. “Mouse over” the page and we’ll show you why. No one else in the country, by the way, does anything like this. The press use this tool constantly. NumbersUSA isn’t about helping one candidate or another win.
