What would the SAVE Act do?

• It would require more than six million employers to verify the work status of more than 130 million workers within four years, regardless of their status, using a federal database already known to have an unacceptably high error rate.
• It would make it easier for the government to put religious and humanitarian workers behind bars for so-called "alien smuggling."
• In a half-baked attempt to address our immigration crisis, the bill would throw more resources toward ineffective border and interior deportation-only enforcement measures rather than offer a comprehensive solution.

Who supports the SAVE Act?

The chief co-sponsors of the SAVE Act are Rep. Heath Shuler (D-North Carolina), Rep. Brian Bilbray (R-California), and Rep. Tom Tancredo (R-Colorado). Rep. Tancredo has made a career, including a failed presidential candidacy, based on anti-immigrant rhetoric.  Rep. Bilbray leads the House Immigration Reform Caucus and is a former lobbyist of the Federation for American Immigration Reform, an organization recognized as a hate group by mainstream civil rights and research organizations like the Southern Poverty Law Center.
