Subject:
PLEASE - Homeland Security Spending Bill conferee keep Immigration Amendments in the bill!

To:
Rep. Jerry Lewis

October 3, 2009

I am writing to you because I see that you are a member of the Homeland Security spending bill conference committee.

As your constituent, I am asking that you will work to ensure that all four of the immigration-related amendments passed by the Senate will NOT be removed or altered, but will remain intact in the final version of the bill.

These amendments are:
* The Sessions amendment to permanently reauthorize E-Verify and mandate its use by all government contractors and subcontractors;
* The DeMint amendment to force DHS to complete the 700 miles of border fencing which has already been approved and funded;
* The Vitter amendment to force the Social Security Administration to continue their "No-Match" program (DHSSec. Napolitano recently ended the program); and
* The Grassley amendment to allow all businesses that use E-Verify to run all of their current employees through the E-Verify system

It is essential to our nations security & well-being that these amendments remain as an core part of this Homeland Security bill.

I therefore strongly urge you to keep the Senate-approved amendments in the bill.
