Sen. Sessions Offers E-Verify Amendment to DHS Appropriations Bill
Updated Wednesday, July 8, 2009, 8:01 AM
Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.) introduced an amendment to the Senate Homeland Security Appropriations bill that would require federal contractors to use E-Verify and permanently reauthorize the workplace verification tool, which is set to expire this fall.
Senators Adopt Sen. Sessions' E-Verify Amendment
Senators passed Sen. Jeff Sessions' amendment E-Verify amendment by voice vote after failing to table it on a 44-53 vote. Thank you for helping to make this teriffic win a reality!
The Senate is currently voting on an amendment by Sen. Jim DeMint (R-S.C.) that would require that at least 700 miles of reinforced fencing along the Southwestern border be completed by December 31, 2010.
**DeMint's amendment appears to have passed. They had to pass an amendment to enforce a law they already had to finish the southern border fence!!
Now the senate is talking about the no-match notices. Will this be addressed today as well? It was a useful tool to keep employment for Americans and legal imimgrants -plus help fraud.
