Finally... An Immigration Plan That Makes Sense
by Bobby Eberle: Over the past year or so, every time the phrase "immigration reform" was uttered in Washington, the American public knew to brace for the worst. No matter what we said, it appeared that our "leaders" weren't listening. The wishes of Americans were clear: border security first, no amnesty, and enforce existing laws. It's not rocket science. Now, it appears that Congress may actually be listening. With all the time wasted on "comprehensive" immigration reform, a new plan moving through the House of Representatives has garnered bi-partisan support, and it addresses immigration reform from a border security perspective.
Known as the Secure America with Verification and Enforcement (SAVE) Act, the plan was introduced by Immigration Reform Caucus Chairman Rep. Brian Bilbray (R-CA) and "Blue Dog" Rep. Heath Schuler (D-NC). As noted by Human Events, "The bill emphasizes an e-verification program, which requires federal agencies, contractors and employers to verify the eligibility of all employees within one to four years, depending on the size of the company. In the process, identity fraud wrought through fake social security numbers and stolen credit cards would be downsized significantly." . . . [Read More]

Just a few of the features of this Bill include:
8000 more Border Patrol agents
More Judges, courts, and detention centers.
Border fencing and vehicle barriers (where needed), and all-weather surveillance roads in conjunction with high tech surveillance equipment including satellite surveillance, infra red, and seismic detection. It requires construction along the border to take into account environmental and private land use needs.
Requires development of a national strategy to secure the borders and all ports of entry to the United States by December 31, 2010.
This Bill even has accountable and transparent financing of the effort built into it giving power of oversight to the Comptroller and Inspector Generals to keep Congress appraised.
This bill is going to receive some stiff opposition from organizations like LULAC and LaRaza, and incumbent Democrats beholding to the illegal immigrant population communities, and incumbent Republicans beholding to employers pressing for cheap illegal labor. They will try to fight this Bill. This SAVE Act offers the Independent voters in America the first real opportunity to flex their newfound muscle by supporting this Bill and pressing their representatives to vote for this legislation.
Call your congressman today and ask him / her to co-sponsor the Save Act HR 4088.
Let's take our country back !
