Yesterday, Rep. Heath Shuler (D-NC) re-introduced the Secure America Through Verification and Enforcement (SAVE) Act which would tighten America’s borders and require all employers to use E-Verify. Rep. Shuler introduced a similar SAVE act in last year’s Congress, which attracted a significant number of co-sponsors in the House.
