[FONT=arial, helvetica]Alert! The SAVE Act would expand E-Verify, and control immigration![/FONT]Representative Heath Shuler (D-NC) and Senator Mark Pryor (D-AR) have reintroduced the SAVE Act, an important, bi-partisan attempt to remedy our immigration crisis. The Secure America with Verification and Enforcement Act, HR 2000, focuses on the heart of the problem—the jobs that attract illegal immigrants.
Unlike "comprehensive" immigration bills that offer some gift-wrapping around an amnesty package, this far-reaching bill starts with the heart of the problem—the jobs that attract illegal immigrants. It would phase in a requirement for every employer to use the E-Verify system on all employees, not just new hires. It would also increase border security and interior enforcement, and provide additional federal district judges to expedite the deportation of illegal aliens.

NOW, PLEASE MAKE ONE MORE PHONE CALL BEFORE U.S. HOUSE STARTS VOTING AGAIN THIS AFTERNOON
Your phoning yesterday -- and your faxing the last six months -- reaped big benefits when several of our sponsored amendments passed the House in marathon voting that lasted into the wee hours this morning. I will send you a report on all the victories later today.
For now, though, we all still have work to do.
ACTION: Go to this phone note for talking points and phone number to call your U.S. Representative and urge a YES vote on "the Cravaak amendment to ensure that violent illegal alien criminals remain in detention before deportation."
Click here for the phone note: www.numbersusa.com/phones?ID=13223
This amendment is by freshman Chip Cravaak of Minnesota. Welcome to the fight, newcomer!!! He's a former career military officer and airline pilot, so he is used to taking command.
Pronounce his name kruh-VACK, with the accent on that second syllable.
The Cravaak amendment to the Department of Homeland Security appropriations bill would prohibit funds from being used in contravention of section 236(c) of the INA (which requires mandatory detention of violent criminals pending deportation).
The amendment is needed to stop the Administration from occasionally allowing violent criminals to be released on bail and otherwise while awaiting deportation and then disappearing into our population.
Cravaak was allowed to introduce and debate his amendment late last night, but the vote on it won't be until this afternoon. This will be a roll call vote, and we have alerted Members of Congress that we will "score" the vote on our Immigration-Reduction Report Cards.

Hello Ohio FIRE Coalition members,
The US Supreme Court decision which upheld the constitutionality of the Arizona law mandating use of E-Verify by employers has now emboldened other states to follow Arizona's lead as detailed in the article from the New York Times.
Click this link to read the whole story.
We need laws mandating use of E-Verify by employers inOhio now! If we don't ac, t then illegal immigrants from other states who don't return to their home countries will end up coming to states which do not have strict laws regarding illegal immigration. This will only put a further burden on Ohio's educational and healthcare systems and will cause more US citizens and legal residents in Ohio to lose their jobs due to unfair competition from illegal immigrants.
Representative Courtney Combs (R-district 54) presented HB 184 which mandated use of E-Verify in the last Ohio House and it didn't pass. He is working on reintroducing it during this assembly.
Call 614-644-6721 or e mail his aide (charles.willoughby@ohr.state.oh.us) as well as your own rep that we need these laws.

82% of Likely Voters Say Businesses Should be Required to Use E-Verify
Tuesday, May 31, 2011, 11:26 AM EDT - posted on NumbersUSA
A new poll conducted by Rasmussen Reports found that 82% of likely voters think businesses should be required to use E-Verify. The poll also found that 61% of likely voters would favor a state law that shuts down businesses that repeatedly hire illegal workers.
The poll was conducted after the Supreme Court's ruling last week that upholds an Arizona law that suspends a company's business license if found repeatedly hiring illegal workers. Only 12% of likely voters would oppose a nationwide mandatory E-Verify law.
The survey also asked likely voters if they supported state laws preventing landlords from renting to illegal aliens, and 63% say they would favor such a law. Sixty-seven percent of likely voters also said that they would favor state immigration enforcement laws if the federal government was not enforcing federal laws.

Hello Ohio FIRE Coalition members,
President Obama recently opined that easing the path to citizenship for 12 to 20 million illegal immigrants would be good for the American economy.
How on earth can anyone believe that granting US citizenship to 12 to 20 million unskilled and semi-skilled illegal immigrant workers would be good for our economy? It would be a disaster for American workers and for the American economy and a recent report from the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR) spells out how bad it would be.

STEP VICTORIES FROM LAST 24 HOURS HERE!!!
U.S. HOUSE PASSES SEVERAL AMENDMENTS
TO DHS SPENDING BILL THAT IMPROVE
ENFORCEMENT AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
Send Free Thank-You or Shame-on-You Fax
To Your Representative For His/Her Voting
See fax on your customized NumbersUSA Action Board.</B>
Thanks to all of you for what you did to bring about these victories in the last 24 hours.
The House just finished voting on all amendments to the 2012 spending bill for the Department of Homeland Security. We/you won on every immigration vote.
I'm happy to report that the Cravaack amendment about which you have phoned all today passed 288 to 130 a few minutes ago! (See description below.)
Large and broad bi-partisan majorities of the U.S. House last night and today agreed to put significantly more money and oomph into key programs to reduce the illegal population of this country.
The amendments were proposed by both Republican and Democratic Members.
In each case, money that was added to enforcement was taken from another part of the Department of Homeland Security budget so the effect of the approved amendments was zero increase in overall spending.
ACTION: Go to your customized Action Board and find the fax to send to your Representative about his/her key vote. (If you don't find one, your Representative is one of the 7 Republicans and 7 Democrats who didn't vote.)
Click here www.numbersusa.com/actionbuffet
Pouring faxes into the Members' offices on this key vote on the Royce amendment will improve chances of good votes on amendments in the future. (We'll provide you some other faxing opportunities tomorrow. Some of you may already have sent the new fax above if you happened onto it while visiting your Action Board this afternoon.)
I'm pleased to tell you that your NumbersUSA Capitol Hill Team was involved with each of the congressional offices in crafting and introducing the following amendments that were approved by the U.S. House.
NEARLY 20% INCREASE IN FUNDING
FEDERAL TRAINING OF LOCAL POLICE
TO ENFORCE IMMIGRATION LAWS UNDER 287(g)
This was a tremendous step victory for all of you who want to see more immigration enforcement from local police.
Although the open-borders groups constantly try to end the federal 287(g) program, we won this amendment 267 to 151.
And 36 Democrats bucked their Party's general opposition to local police enforcement of immigration laws, voting with all but one Republican to actually increase local participation.
This was the first immigration amendment that came up last night in a two-day marathon of appropriations amendments. It was offered by Rep. Ed Royce (R-Calif.) who asked to move money from the Office of the Secretary of Management at DHS and add it to money already included for DHS to facilitate new agreements with local governments under Section 287(g) of the Immigration and Nationality Act.
Lots of city, county and state law enforcement agencies have asked to be part of the program but can't because of a huge waiting list for training.
The holdup is lack of money appropriated by Congress for the training that must take place before local agencies are allowed to enforce certain immigration laws.
Royce's amendment would add nearly 20% to the funding for such training.
The opposition on the floor was led by Rep. Price (D-N.C.) who was in charge of these appropriations the previous four years and tried to starve the 287(g) program. He took the microphone and argued not only against Royce's amendment but against allowing the local enforcement program to continue at all.
Fortunately, Price is no longer in charge.
HOUSE CRUSHES REP. POLIS' EFFORT
TO END LOCAL ENFORCEMENT OF IMMIGRATION LAWS
Late this afternoon, Boulder's Rep. Jared Polis (D-Colo.) surprised us by taking advantage of the open amendment process and offered an amendment that not only would negate our victory from last night on the Royce amendment but would remove ALL FUNDING for the 287(g) program.
This set up a wonderful opportunity for voters nationwide to find out who stands with the open-borders lobbies who oppose virtually every kind of enforcement against illegal immigration. They have been calling for Pres. Obama to just shut down 287(g) by executive fiat. So, Rep. Polis gave every Member of the House a chance to stand in solidarity with the open-borders groups.
Distressingly 107 Members of the U.S. House were willing to do that. We will provide the list of these pro-illegal-immigration Members on our website as soon as we get it.
But reassuringly, Rep. Polis' attempt to show Pres. Obama that doing away with local enforcement is politically popular failed miserably.
U.S. Representatives voted 312 to 107 to continue the federal program for local enforcement of immigration laws.
All 231 Republican votes were for 287(g) local enforcement.
And 81 of the 188 Democratic votes (43%) also stood behind local enforcement.
While the open-borders groups may be able to brag to Pres. Obama that they are the voice of the majority of Democrats in the House, it is a very narrow majority in the minority Party.
What we can say is that there is an overwhelming majority (74%) of the entire House -- a BROAD BI-PARTISAN majority -- that backs local enforcement of immigration laws.
And we now know the names of the fringe minority who don't.
These votes should be reflected on our NumbersUSA Immigration-Reduction Report Cards later Friday.
$5 MILLION MORE FOR FEDERAL CENTER THAT ASSISTS
LOCAL POLICE WHEN THEY ENCOUNTER ILLEGAL ALIENS
John Barrow, the Democratic Representative for Savannah and Augusta, Georgia, is a great leader of that "43% Pro-Enforcement Wing of Democratic Representatives).
He championed a great amendment last night that would move $5 million from the DHS administration budget to add to the salaries and expenses for the Law Enforcement Support Center.
This is the national call center that provides assistance to state and local law enforcement when they are dealing with illegal aliens.
The Center has been woefully under-manned and under-funded.
While there remains quite a debate about how much state, county and local law enforcement should be REQUIRED to do in enforcing immigration laws, surely nearly everybody can agree that the federal government should assist those jurisdictions that ASK for help in identifying and processing illegal aliens.
Rep. Barrow's amendment augments beautifully Rep. Royce's amendment on 287(g), which is also about helping those jurisdictions that don't want to put the welcome mat out for illegal aliens.
LEADERS OF BOTH PARTIES APPARENTLY DECIDED THEY DIDN'T WANT MANY ROLL CALL VOTES ON IMMIGRATION AMENDMENTS
Interestingly, after the lop-sided win for Royce's 287(g) amendment early last night, both Democratic and Republican leaders basically quit asking for roll call votes on immigration amendments the rest of the evening.
Rep. Barrow's amendment was approved by voice vote, with nobody challenging and asking for a recorded vote.
I am most pleased to see Democratic leaders decide that recorded votes showing the majority of Democrats opposing enforcement would be bad politically. This shows that the Democratic leaders are aware that the current Party line of opposing most immigration enforcement (unless tied to an amnesty) is politically unpopular.
My guess is that Democratic leaders were not particularly pleased with Rep. Polis' grandstanding late this afternoon and putting so many of the anti-enforcement Democrats on record.
HOUSE FINALLY BACKS OUR ROSEMARY JENKS'
CRUSADES TO ATTACK ARIZONA 'SPOTTER NESTS'
AND SUPPORT THE 'SHADOW WOLVES'</B>
This was really quite a savory moment for Rosemary Jenks, your NumbersUSA Director of Government Relations.
By voice vote and after colorful descriptions by the sponsor, Rep. Steve King (R-Iowa), the House approved by voice vote two amendments that would:
[*]set aside $1 million for the Border Patrol to use to eliminate the Mexican drug cartels' look-out posts along the borders,
[*]set aside $1 million for hiring additional Shadow Wolves, the extraordinarily and uniquely talented Native Americans who track illegal aliens and foreign para-military along the Mexican border.
Rosemary has led these "tours" in climbing to the nests in the blazing summer sun and occasionally in dramatic helicopter hoverings that get to the nests more easily but less safely. They often didn't know until they were near the nests whether the well-armed spotters were absent. Of course from their vantage point, the spotters had plenty of time to leave once they saw the delegation approaching.
The "Spotters" use the nests to watch all movements by our Border Patrol and then radio to smugglers of drugs and people where to avoid and where to hide based on the location of the Border Patrol.
The Native American Shadow Wolves have played a key role in our understanding of the problem of the Spotter Nests and other issues along the border. On-the-ground federal personnel in Arizona have also confirmed the nest locations (off the record, of course). They have told us that higher-ups will not authorize eliminating the Spotter Nests.
We always thought government officials and the news media would find it outrageous that foreign criminal agents are occupying U.S. territory so cavalierly with little challenge.
We were wrong.
A number of Congressmen have tried to get first the Bush Administration and then the Obama Administration to take out these Spotter Nests. But for unexplained reasons, both Administrations have preferred not to challenge the drug cartels.
Rosemary (with me in hand at times) has tried to "sell" this story over the years to many news media outlets, including NBC and Fox. This story is ready-made for dramatic TV investigative reporting. But again NOTHING. We suspect that the government in each case has scared reporters off the story by denying the existence of the Spotters.
Nobody has pursued this strange situation of sovereignty infringement like Rep. King. His amendment is one more effort to push the feds into either doing something about the Spotters Nests or taking Congress into its confidence as to why our government is willing to have drug cartels greatly improve their ability to move illegal aliens (and drugs) past our Border Patrol on a daily basis.
THE FACT THAT 130 MEMBERS VOTED TO ALLOW VIOLENT ILLEGAL ALIENS TO BE RELEASED INTO OUR POPULATION SHOWED THE NEED FOR THE AMENDMENT TO STOP THE PRACTICE
We won 288 to 130 on the amendment to block funding that allows the Administration to release violent illegal aliens into the U.S. population while awaiting deportation.
The amendment came from freshman Rep. Chip Cravaack (R-Minn.). Some of our NumbersUSA members wondered if this wasn't just a creampuff amendment that would allow 435 Members of the House to get a pro-enforcement vote. After all, who could be in favor of releasing violent illegal aliens into our communities?
But 130 Members opposed the amendment. You'll see their names on our website as soon as we get them.
OTHER OF OUR AMENDMENTS THAT PASSED BY VOICE VOTE
- Amendment by Rep. Poe (R-Texas) to withhold certain federal funds from cities that have sanctuary policies that prohibit local police cooperation with federal immigration authorities.
- Another amendment by Rep. Poe that prohibits the President and Administration from using the "deferred action" tool to give temporary amnesty to large numbers of illegal aliens. As defined by law, deferred action on deportation of an illegal alien is supposed to be case-by-case based on very special circumstances. Instead, the Administration's use of "deferred action" last year has grown from an average of 900 cases a year to 12,000 last year.
- The final bill included an amendment by Rep. Jack Kingston (R-Ga.) requiring all contractors with the federal government to use E-Verify. Although this is already required by Pres. Obama's executive order in 2009, this amendment would eliminate the ability of this or any future President to cease the requirement. We were pleased that this amendment was so persuasive that appropriations leaders added it to the underlying spending bill before it was brought to the floor.
I hasten to explain that we call the votes "step victories" because they are just a step in the process. Until they are part of legislation signed into law, nothing actually gets better. Improvements that are still there in a signed bill are the only things that can truly be called "victories."
(1) The House has the responsibility of starting appropriations bills. (2) Then the Senate takes up the passed bills and either approves them in entirety or (3) amends them and (4) sends them back to the House (5) or to a Joint Conference committee to iron out the differences (6) after which the compromise conference bill goes back to both Senate and House for another approval vote, (7) and at the end of whatever scenario a bill goes to the President to sign or veto.
Nonetheless, you can't get to the President's desk unless somebody somewhere first approves what you want. That happened last night -- SEVERAL TIMES!
THANKS AGAIN, AND I HOPE YOU FEEL A DEEP SENSE OF SATISFACTION WITH THESE 'STEP VICTORIES.' WE'LL KEEP YOU INFORMED AS THE APPROPRIATIONS PROCESS MOVES FORWARD.

WAS WRONG IN BLOCKING
HAZELTON'S E-VERIFY ORDINANCE
MAYOR LOU BARLETTA'S ORDINANCE SPARKED A NATIONAL EFFORT OF LOCAL & STATES TO PASS OWN E-VERIFY LAWS
This Ruling Opens Way For A Lot More Pressure Against Illegal Foreign Workers -- 2 Weeks After Supreme Court Approved Arizona's E-Verify Law
The Associated Press has just reported that "two weeks after issuing a major ruling affirming a state's right to pass legislation cracking down on employers who knowingly hire illegal workers, the Supreme Court has voided a lower court ruling blocking a city ordinance that does the same and also targets landlords who willfully house illegals."
ACTION: Please go to your Action Board and send more faxes to your Members of Congress urging Congress to mandate E-Verify for all employers nationwide.
With this newest Supreme Court ruling, the pressure increases greatly on Congress to create a uniform national standard, since the coast is now clear for cities, counties and states across the nation to pass mandates on their own.
NumbersUSA members will remember the years of support that they have provided to then-Mayor Lou Barletta and the city of Hazelton, Pa., as they tried to reduce their illegal population by requiring local employers to use E-Verify.
At our May symposium for our strongest supporters, both Barletta and Hazelton's lawyer -- Kris Kobach -- spoke about what it was like to be nearly all alone in the federal courts system facing multitudes of lawyers from giant national groups opposing them.
Barletta (now the U.S. Representative from that area) and Kobach (now the Secretary of State of Kansas) talked about the signs of extreme prejudice shown by the federal judges that led to the circuit court and then the Third Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals blocking Hazelton's law.
And they told our supporters that they remained confident that the Supreme Court would see that the little city of Hazelton knew the law better than those two lower federal courts.
This case is not over, though. The Supreme Court's action sent the case back to the Third Circuit with instructions to review the matter in light of the Supreme Court's ruling about the Arizona E-Verify law.
The Supreme Court ruling was 5-3 on Hazelton -- the same as on the Arizona case.
Kris Kobach had always argued that the Hazelton ordinance was written strictly to be in line with federal law.
Speaking to the court, representing the Immigration Reform Law Institute, Kobach said: "Hazleton's ordinances match the terms and classifications of federal immigration law and require officials to defer to federal determinations of aliens' immigration statuses. In drafting the ordinances, the city made every effort to avoid any conflict with federal immigration laws."
AP reported that that is the same argument Arizona's lawyers made when their case went before the court and is one that Chief Justice John Roberts and four of his colleagues agreed with.
"(Federal law) expressly reserves to the states the authority to impose sanctions on employers hiring unauthorized workers, through licensing and similar laws. In exercising that authority, Arizona has taken the route least likely to cause tension with federal law," Roberts wrote last month.
I hope every one of you will go to your NumbersUSA Action Board and send faxes to your Members of Congress to take advantage of the momentum created by this latest Supreme Court ruling.
Thanks,

[FONT=arial, helvetica]Alert! HR 2057: the Mobilizing Against Sanctuary Cities Act![/FONT]As the mayor of Hazleton, Pennsylvania, Lou Barletta was a leader in local efforts to fight back against the illegal immigration that was ravaging communities. Now, as a Congressman, he has introduced his first piece of legislation--the Mobilizing Against Sanctuary Cities Act.
HR 2057 would crack down on "sanctuary cities"--local jurisdictions that do not cooperate with federal officials in enforcing immigration law. This bill would go further than other anti-sanctuary legislation by withholding all federal funding from these cities as long as their sanctuary policies are in place.
