Washington Should Put American Workers First

Federation for American Immigration Reform

During his 2011 State of the Union Address, President Obama made a commitment to create new jobs and get our economy back on track. The president could easily accomplish this right now.

Any new investment in job creation by our government should ensure that the jobs go to American workers. One of the ways to guarantee this is to make the E-Verify program a requirement for all employers. With over seven million jobs currently held by illegal aliens, this mandate could help put millions of out of work Americans back on the payrolls.

With the new Congress embracing an “enforcement first” agenda on immigration, we are on the cusp of finally seeing some serious efforts to enforce our immigration laws. But we need your help.

By donating today, you can help ensure that FAIR is able to continue to educate our legislators and encourage them to act on issues like the millions of Americans that are out of work, the hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens that cross our borders each and every year, and the employers who create unfair competition for much needed jobs by hiring illegal workers.

As the primary source of quality information about the immigration issue, FAIR keeps you updated daily on the latest news and events straight from Capitol Hill. Help us continue providing information to the public and American employers about the vital need for E-Verify and to remind the White House and Congress that American workers should come first!
