Call Senators Thursday Asking for a YES vote on Grassley's E-Verify Amendment & Vitter's No-Match Amendment

Updated Wednesday, July 8, 2009, 8:00 PM

The Senate has adjourned for the day and will reconvene at 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, July 9. Votes on amendments by Sens. Charles Grassley (R-Iowa) and David Vitter (R-La.) that appeared imminent earlier today are still expected at some point over the next few days. Before adjourning tonight, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) filed a cloture motion to end debate on the overall bill by Friday. Please resume calling Senators on Thursday morning and ask them to vote YES on the Grassley and Vitter amendments - 202-224-3121.

Sen. Grassley's amendment (# 1415) would allow employers using E-Verify to check the workplace eligibility of all employees, not just new hires. Under current law, E-Verify may only be used for new hires. Sen. Vitter's amendment (#1375) would prevent further delays in the implementation of the "no-match" rule, which allows the Social Security Administration to send letters notifying employers that the Social Security number and personal data of certain employees don't match SSA records (almost always because they are illegal aliens).
