Yesterday House Republicans made a move to force the Shuler/Tancredo “SAVE Act” to a vote on the floor. This “discharge petition” is a special procedural motion that would allow the sponsors of the Shuler-Tancredo bill to take it straight to the floor of the House without having to go through the full committee process and then force a vote.
The bill would force all employers, within four years, to use the E-verify employment authorization verification system, which has been criticized as flawed, for all workers—new hires and current workers.

Among the current House and Senate Bills that were being debated before Congress went on vacation , one was written all the way back in 2003 and promises undocumented students to work towards their dreams of higher education. The Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act aka the DREAM Act would instate a provision allowing the children of undocumented immigrants to apply for “conditional” legal status upon graduation from high school. The “conditional” status could then be changed to permanent residency if the students either pursue higher education or serve in the military. One way ticket to Iraq anyone?
