Help Bring the SAVE Act to the House Floor!
Call Your Representatives Now!

For over five months, House Leaders have ignored the SAVE Act (H.R. 4088), an important piece of enforcement-only legislation introduced by Congressman Heath Shuler (D-NC). Even though the legislation has 149 co-sponsors from both parties, House Leaders refuse to give it a hearing in the Judiciary Committee!

The reason the SAVE Act has such wide support in Congress is because it both provides more resources to secure the border and contains critical interior enforcement measures. These include:

Mandating that all employers use the E-Verify electronic employment verification program mandatory within 4 years of enactment (SAVE Act §201);
Requiring employers who receive no-match letters to inform employees that they must correct the no-match within 10 days or be terminated. (SAVE Act §202(a)); and
Prohibiting employers from deducting wages paid to illegal aliens. (SAVE Act §211).

Now, a growing group of Representatives who support enforcement of our immigration laws are trying to force a vote on the SAVE Act by using a discharge petition filed by Congresswoman Thelma Drake (R-VA). Under House rules, if a discharge petition receives at least 218 signatures, the bill will bypass the normal committee process and go directly to the floor.

Currently the SAVE Act discharge petition has 185 signatures—meaning only 33 more are needed to bring the bill to the floor! To see if your Representative has signed the discharge petition, click here.

Please call your Representatives now and urge them to bring the SAVE Act to the floor immediately!!!!

If your Representative has signed the discharge petition, please thank him/her and let them know you will be watching its progress.
If your Representative has not signed the discharge petition, tell him/her you want enforcement first and that Congress must pass, fund, and implement enforcement legislation before entertaining guest worker amnesty legislation that rewards special interest groups.
