Call your local Chamber of Commerce and tell them to protest the lawsuit to stop e-verify
“The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business organizations filed suit against U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff last week, complaining that the Homeland Security Department cannot legally require federal contractors to use its online worker verification database…”
Business groups sue over Homeland Security E-Verify program

The Bush administration issued an executive order requiring that federal contractors or subcontractors use the system. That has raised the ire of immigrant-rights advocates. The Chamber of Commerce filed a lawsuit in federal court just last week against the proposed expansion. Unless there is a court injunction, the expansion will take effect on Jan. 15, less than a week before Obama is inaugurated. “The DHS intends to expand E-Verify on an unprecedented scale in a very short timeframe, and to impose liability on government contractors who are unable to comply,” Johnson said. “Given the current economy, now is not the time to add more bureaucracy and billions of dollars in compliance costs to America’s businesses.”
Obama to face critical immigration test early

The United States Chamber of Commerce has repeatedly stood in opposition to the majority of the American people in regard to illegal immigration. They were a powerful voice in crafting the McCain /Kennedy comprehensive amnesty bill in 2007.
Now the U.S. COC has the audacity to complain about the cost to business of e-verify!
The Chamber is willing to see you, the American tax payer, fund the benefits that illegal labor enjoys!
At the same time, they insist that cheap illegal labor be allowed to take jobs from American workers in an epic period of joblessness!!!
American laborers are going without jobs so American businesses can remain profitable with cheap illegal labor.
The United States Chamber of Commerce is anxious to continue placing the burden of the costs of illegal immigration on the backs of the tax payers at the expense of our poor--even during this terrible recession
Americans pay for the welfare benefits and the entitlements of illegal aliens, not only in states where this is sanctioned, but across the nation for criminal aliens who have stolen the identities of Americans. Many have multiple identities and obtain multiple benefits.
American taxpayers pay for the incarceration costs of jails and prisons and the prosecutorial and court costs of the numerous criminal aliens in our federal and state justice systems
American taxpayers pay for the health care expenses of illegal aliens through emergency room visits, maternity and infant care, and indigent Medicaid state-funded clinics where immigration status is never asked! Our elderly find their Medicare payments slashed each year at the same time as hospitals are going bankrupt under the weight of illegal alien health care demands.
American taxpayer $$$ build schools, roads, etc… for the illegal alien population. In addition, our children’s education suffers…time and money goes to children who cannot read or write in English.
Money is taken out of the local economies and remitted home to the families of illegal aliens in their countries of origin
The Chamber of Commerce and related business have no compassion or care for the incalculable costs to the American crime victims of illegal aliens and their families. The cost cannot be measured either in suffering or in dollars lost as a result of identity theft, rape, pedophilia, robbery, murder, DUI and DUI death on our highways, etc…
ACT NOW AGAINST THE ATTEMPT BY THE UNITED STATES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TO END E-VERIFY!!!
Call your local Chamber of Commerce and tell them to protest the lawsuit to stop e-verify filed by the United States Chamber of Commerce against the Department of Homeland Security
Let your local chamber know they are putting the security of America at risk by encouraging a continuous flow of illegal aliens across our border. Business, with their demands for an unending supply of illegal cheap labor, is taking jobs away from the many out of work Americans during this terrible recession.
Let them know over-burdened tax payers can no longer support the cost of cheap illegal labor for the profits of businesses!
