You can help by signing the petition and urging your family, friends and associates to sign it.
- The Sessions E-Verify amendment.
- The DeMint fence amendment.
- The Vitter no-match amendment.
- The Grassley E-Verify amendment.
The Sessions andt. gives E-Verify permanent authorization, removing it from the chopping block where it currently awaits extinction. It mandates that a company with a federal contract must screen all new hires through E-Verify. It also mandates that all people working on the gov't. contract must be verified.
The Demint amdt. requires completion of the 700-mile fence along the Mexican border by the end of 2010.
The Vitter amdt. activates a no-match notification system that informs employers of employees whose Social Security numbers do not match their records.
The Grassley amdt allows businesses to voluntarily run all existing employees through E-Verify.
Each of those vital amendments will be stripped from the bill in the reconciliation process unless we apply extreme pressure. The first step is to sign the petition. The second step is to exhort your friends to sign. The third step is to send a strongly worded email to your Representative & Senators exhorting them to support the amendments.
Similar provisions were placed in the House Stimulus bill last fall and secretly removed in the reconciliation committee. We must prevent that from happening again.
If you will join Numbers USA, you will discover how easy it is to send a fax to your Senators. Phoning them is the only better way to make them feel the heat.

Instead of paying millions and millions of dollars to build a fence that anyone with a shovel or a ladder or feet can get below/over/around, why not institute a massive fine on companies or individuals who hire illegal workers? If you make the fine high enough that the risk outweighs the reward of cheap labor, then the demand for illegal immigrant labor will decrease, and you won't need a fence. Plus, you can use the revenues from the fines to fund other things.
OR, deploy the National Guard on the border with full arms, mechanized units and air support. No fence needed then...
In case you missed RightHooks' story on this topic several years ago,here's a look back:

My plan is cheaper.
But not nearly as much fun...
While the border remains open, OTM, meaning muz, can sneak over it with whatever weapons they can carry.
Wise up!!!
