FAIRus - HARRY REIDS JOBS PUSH FOR ILLEGALS - Unemployment Not High Enough?

Reid Jobs Bill Benefits Employers Who Hire Illegal Aliens!
Call your Senators today and tell them to stand up for the American Worker!
On Monday night, the Senate voted to move forward with debate on Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid’s (D-NV) jobs bill, the Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment (HIRE) Act (S.AMDT.3310 to H.R.2847). The HIRE Act has two major tax provisions: (1) an exemption from payroll taxes for employers who hire new employees in 2010 and (2) a $1,000 tax credit for employers who keep those employees for at least 52 weeks. However, the bill does not require that these new workers be American workers or that employers use E-Verify to confirm that the workers hired are work authorized. (See FAIR’s Legislative Update)

To make matters worse, Senate Majority Leader Reid intends to block all amendments to the HIRE Act and to hold a vote on final passage tonight!

It’s not too late to make your voice heard! True immigration reformers in the Senate want to fix these problems, but they need our help! Here’s what you can do:

Call your Senators today and tell them:

Jobs created by the HIRE Act should go to American workers, not illegal aliens;
Employers should be prohibited from receiving tax benefits if they hire illegal aliens;
Employers should be required to use E-Verify to qualify for these tax benefits; and
You expect your Senators to demand that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid fix this problem now!
