Calls Needed This Morning: Oppose Mandatory E-Verify Amendment

PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE, EMAIL ALL RESPONSES TO HU...@NILC.ORG.

ACTION ALERT: SENATE VOTING ON MANDATORY
E-VERIFY AMENDMENT THIS MORNING

CALLS NEEDED
VOTING TO START AS EARLY AS 10:30AM EST

OPPOSE SESSIONS AMENDMENT 1371 to H.R. 2892,
The Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2010

Senator Sessions has introduced an amendment to the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2010 that would make E-Verify mandatory for all federal contractors. If implemented, it would affect almost 4 million workers.

The amendment would:

•   Make the notoriously flawed E-verify program permanent.

•   Require all federal contractors and subcontractors to use the program to verify all employees including existing employees.

•   Harm U.S. workers, citizens and non-citizens alike, who are falsely denied work.

ACTION NEEDED:

1.   Call both of your Senators THIS MORNING (Click here to find your Senator)

2.   Tell them:
•   You OPPOSE the Sessions amendment (#1371) to make E-Verify permanent and mandatory for federal contractors.
•   You SUPPORT having a real debate about immigration issues and the only way for that to happen is by starting comprehensive immigration reform this year.
