Support Bill to Mandate Worker Verification of all North Carolina Workers

Battle for More Sensible Immigration Policies Now in North Carolina State Legislature

Kick Illegal Aliens OUT of North Carolina Jobs

NumbersUSA

Our spring initiatives are now in full force all across the country. We're hoping to make a major impact in North Carolina before the state legislature adjourns for the year in mid May. And we've got a great chance at making that happen in the upcoming weeks, we'll need your financial support and activism as we go on this final push.

State immigration enforcement has received lots of attention in the past year. As the Federal government continues to let the American people down by its refusal to enforce immigration laws, a number of states are attempting to take control. As evidenced by the actions of the North Carolina state legislature, the need to gain control of our immigration laws and ensure that the law is properly enforced is apparent to everyone.

For many years, North Carolina legislators have refused to address this issue, instead preferring to allow greedy business to exploit illegal labor and keep North Carolina residents unemployed. However, with North Carolina facing a $270 Million budget shortfall, legislators in Raleigh are now leaning toward putting unemployed North Carolina residents back in North Carolina jobs.

There are multiple bills winding their way through the legislature that would mandate the use of E-Verify for at least some new hires. Mandating E-Verify will prevent employers from hiring illegal aliens and open up employment opportunities for millions of Raleigh ' unemployed.

9.7% of all North Carolina residents are unable to find any job -- that's 909,945 U.S. citizens and legal immigrants. If the state requires the use of E-Verify, a huge number of jobs will be opened up to legal workers.

By now I'm sure you've heard about the E-verify system. This outstanding government database is used to validate the eligibility of all workers to work legally in the U.S. With a 99.7% overall effectiveness rate, this tool is the best option currently available to reduce the presence of illegal aliens in U.S. jobs, and put unemployed Americans back to work.

But, the open borders lobby in Raleigh is doing its best to stop these bills. We must get one or more passed.

I need your help. Without an infusion of financial help from Raleigh members of NumbersUSA like you, we may not be able to complete this job. It's time the North Carolina legislature to stand up for North Carolina. Help us insist that they do so. Thank you.

In the last few weeks, NumbersUSA has already won big state victories in Indiana, Alabama, and Georgia. We're on the knife's edge in several other states. We need more support!

Here's what well use the money for:

  • Send tens of thousand of faxes to hundreds of North Carolina legislators;
  • Mobilize thousands of North Carolina residents to contact their state Senators and Representatives;
  • Connect North Carolina residents with other concerned activists in their home districts.

We promised to be much more proactive this year. The fact that E-Verify is in play in North Carolina shows just how much influence NumbersUSA and our North Carolina activists truly have.

Getting where we are now has required huge sacrificial giving from so many for so long. Sending faxes and assembling experts on state law does not come cheap. Please help us cross the finish line in North Carolina .

There are four ways to give:


1) On-line credit card (we take all major cards);

2) Give by PayPal;

3) Check -- see the instructions and a form to print out and send with your check;

4) Call (877) 885-7733 to arrange a wire transfer, stock donation, or to make a credit card donation over the phone. If our office is closed, please leave the time and your phone number and we will call back.
