Rep. Shuler (D-NC)) Introduces Common-Sense Legislation

On November 7, 2007: Rep. Heath Shuler (D-N.C.) introduced legislation emphasizing the principles of “Attrition Through Enforcement”. The SAVE Act (H.R. 4088) will broaden and enhance border security and interior enforcement.

The principle behind “Attrition Through Enforcement” is that living illegally in the United States will become more difficult when the government enforces all of the laws already on the books. The goal is to make it extremely difficult for unauthorized persons to live and work in the United States

We know Attrition Through Enforcement works because, in states that have passed tough new laws to penalize employers of and deny public benefits to illegal aliens, the illegal aliens began to move out of those states

Among many detailed border security provisions stressing more agents and better technology at minimal operating costs, the SAVE Act would:

...increase border patrol agents by 8,000, utilize new technology and fencing to secure the border;

...expand specialized enforcement programs, such as the "Tunnel Task Force";

... address the "jobs magnet" by strengthening The Employment Verification Program to close security gaps, address loopholes, and make it mandatory for employers.

Last, but not least, the SAVE Act would address interior enforcement by employing more ICE agents, training additional state and local law enforcement personnel, and expediting the removal of illegal aliens by expanding detention capacity and increasing the number of Federal District Court Judges. Furthermore, this legislation would begin a targeted media campaign to inform illegal aliens of new laws and penalties, while also informing employers of penalties for hiring illegal immigrants.

This the type of legislation that will produce results and is amnesty Free!

Send a message to your Member of Congress to cosponsor this legislation

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 !

Could it be that there are some politicians with common sense? This legislation is too logical to get passed but we can hope & pray.
