Petition to Protect Precious American Jobs from Being Taken by Illegal Aliens when We Have 16 MILLION UNEMPLOYED

From: Stephen Steinlight
Subject: Petition to Protect Precious American Jobs from Being Taken by Illegal Aliens when We Have 16 MILLION UNEMPLOYED

Jobs for American Workers, NOT Illegal Aliens

Stop Pelosi, Obama and Reid from stripping workplace enforcement like they did last winter.

Send this petition to keep E-Verify, Fence and No-Match amendments in the Homeland Security Bill and open up jobs to unemployed Americans.

To: President Obama, Speaker Pelosi and Leader Reid,

Defend unemployed Americans. Keep the four E-Verify, Fence and No-Match amendments in the Homeland Security spending bill. The Senate overwhelmingly passed these amendments to ensure that returning veterans and other unemployed Americans get jobs and that illegal foreign workers not be able to take the jobs from them.

The nation's eyes are upon you; we will not tolerate the stripping of these measures in a secret conference as you did with the House E-Verify provisions this past February.

Millions of unemployed Americans are counting on you.

NumbersUSA Action is pro-environment, pro-worker, pro-liberty and pro-immigrant.

Our goal is to carry out the immigration-reduction recommendations from two national commissions of the 1990s:

1) The bi-partisan U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform urged reduction in immigration numbers that are now so high as to harm the most vulnerable American workers and their families
2) To achieve an environmentally sustainable society, the President's Council on Sustainable Development urged reducing immigration numbers to a level that will allow the U.S. population to stabilize.
