Senate Stimulus Would Give 300,000 Jobs to Illegal Aliens

 

 

              As you are reading this, the Senate is debating provisions for the Stimulus Package.  Under the current Senate version, the Stimulus would NOT prevent the jobs created from going to Illegal Immigrants. 

 

              About 15% of all construction jobs go to Illegal Aliens, and estimates say that this package could create up to 2 million jobs.  As there is nothing in this Bill preventing these jobs from going to Illegals, at least 300,000 of these jobs would undoubtedly go to Illegals, as a recent Center for Immigration Studies report has shown.  

 

              The good news is that the House version of this Bill has a provision requiring contractors to use the E-Verify system which would let employers ascertain whether their workers were authorized to work in the U.S.  The bad news is that the Obama Administration has delayed implementation of E-Verify for government contractors, presumably to allow time for them to cram their planned Illegal Alien Amnesty Bill down the throats of the American People in a few weeks.     

 

              We can get the Senate to add this provision, but we must act immediately!

 

               Here’s what you can do:

 

  • CALL YOUR SENATORS RIGHT NOW AND LET THEM KNOW THAT YOU DEMAND THE ADDITION OF THE E-VERIFY REQUIREMENT FOR ALL CONTRACTORS IN THE SENATE STIMULUS PACKAGE AND THAT YOU DO NOT WANT STIMULUS BILL JOBS TO GO TO ILLEGAL ALIENS.

  • CALL YOUR SENATORS AND REPRESENTATIVE AND TELL THEM YOU SUPPORT A ZERO NET IMMIGRATION MORATORIUM TO PROTECT AMERICAN JOBS AND OUR ENVIRONMENT.

    DO NATE TO BALANCE TODAY AND HELP US PROTECT JOBS AND THE ENVIRONMENT.
