Dear Faxer:
Subcommittee on Social Security to hold a bogus hearing in order to protect illegal aliens
This new phone call request has been posted in your Action Buffet based on your answers to the Interest Survey.
You can find this phone call request by proceeding to
http://www.numbersusa.com/phones?ID= 10055The Subcommittee on Social Security will hold a hearing on employment eligibility verification systems on May 6 in order to delay or even sabotage a vote on the enforcement-only SAVE Act (H.R. 408
. Please call the representative(s) from your state who serve on the subcommittee and show your support for the SAVE Act and E-Verify.
Background
Subcommitte Chairman Michael R. McNulty (D-N.Y.) tipped his hand – and revealed the subcommittee’s bias against verification systems – when he announced the hearing, stating that Congress “should not compound the problems of a flawed system. And it is essential that we not increase the workload of the Social Security Administration,” and “it is essential that we not increase the workload of the Social Security Administration.”
Apparently, the subcommittee thinks outlaw businesses and illegal aliens should be protected until SSA records are perfect, and this bogus hearing has been arranged to slander the E-Verify program, rather than constituting a constructive debate over the merits of the actual SAVE Act.
The Subcommittee will hear testimony from “invited witnesses only,” all but ensuring that our side will not be represented at the hearing. However, Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.), the sponsor of the SAVE Act, is tentatively scheduled to participate on the panel.
The E-Verify system (formerly known as “Basic Pilot”) has been around since 1996 to help employers comply with federal immigration laws. It has been studied multiple times by Congress, universities, and the Social Security Administration itself. Every report has found it to be easy, reliable and effective.
