Wow. I woke up this morning and did my daily e-mail run and found more emails saying that the senate was voting on anti-immigration amendments again today. Pathetic. Instead of working to enact Comprehensive Immigration Reform, US Senators Vitter and Grassley are pushing dangerous, enforcement-only amendments to the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations Act of 2010, that would lead to unfair firings of American workers and delay the critical steps Congress and the Obama Administration must take towards passing the reforms that are VERY NEEDED.
Sen. Vitter's amendments would undo the Obama administration's decision to rescind the Bush Administration rule regarding Social Security Administration No-Match letters. Sen. Grassley's amendment would give employers who use E-Verify discretion to verify all of their existing employees at any time of their choosing. Under current law, E-Verify may only be used for new hires.
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE! Call both your Senators and tell them to OPPOSE THE VITTER AND GRASSLEY AMENDMENTS, 1375 and 1415 respectively.
Tell them:
You OPPOSE the VITTER AND GRASSLEY AMENDMENTS.
and that
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.
Do your part! Call in now and make your voices heard. It's time we fix the broken immigration system and not further damage it....Do it!
