Default Good news from NUMBERS:More than a Dozen Cosponsor Chairman Smith's Mandatory E-Verif

More than a Dozen Cosponsor Chairman Smith's Mandatory E-Verify Bill
The support for Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith's E-Verify bill exploded this week with the addition of 14 new cosponsors, including its first Democrat with the cosponsorship from Rep. Heath Shuler of North Carolina.
The new cosponsors include some of the most tenured Members of the U.S. House of Representatives, including Reps. Cliff Stearns and Bill Young of Florida, Frank Wolf of Virginia, Hal Rogers of Kentucky, Rodney Frelinghuysen of New Jersey, Ralph Hall and Kay Granger of Texas, and Peter King of New York.
The list of official backers of Chairman Smith's bill is now at 58!
We also had two Members of the Freshman Class-- Rep. Mo Brooks of Alabama and Rep. Dennis Ross of Florida -- join our prestigious 5-for-5 Club. To join the 5-for-5 Club, Members must cosponsor at least one bill in each category of our "5 Great Immigration Solutions". Reps. Brooks and Ross have cosponsored at least one bill that would require national E-Verify, end Chain Migration, end the Visa Lottery, end Birthright Citizenship, and help increase local enforcement.
Most of you have a Representative who isn't close to being as helpful. Please continue to urge your Members of Congress to cosponsor immigration-reduction legislation. You'll find faxes on your Action Board asking them to cosponsor all of our bills listed on our "5 Great Solutions" grid, and you'll also find thank you faxes if they've already cosponsored a bill.
Thanks,
