H.R. 4088 … SAVE Act … Secure America with Verification Enforcement … Rep. Shuler’s … 112 cosponsors .. none from Nv .. 11/6/07 …Referred to the Committee on Homeland Security, and in addition to the Committees on the Judiciary, Ways and Means, Education and Labor, Oversight and Government Reform, Armed Services, Agriculture, and Natural Resources
The American Policy Center has read this legislation and it’s clear that passage of the SAVE Act will not secure our nation’s borders, will not safeguard her citizens, will not preserve what’s left of our Rule of Law, and will further decimate our economy. www.americanpolicy.org.
APC is issuing this alert AGAINST the SAVE Act. Here’s why … does not fund the existing fencing requirement authorized, but not funded, last year by Congress .. only authorizes “additional fencing (aesthetic fencing in business districts) in urban areas of the border.” .. instead of fencing, proposes to strengthen the rest of the border with “vehicle barriers.” .. specifies the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) will “(contract) with foreign companies” for the Secure Border Initiative, and proposes purchasing of “a contract to manage the operations of a United States port by a foreign entity” … will specifically defend a religious denomination for breaking the law by smuggling or harboring illegals and it says “…to encourage, invite, call, allow, or enable an alien who is present in the United States to perform the vocation of a minister or missionary…as a volunteer who is not compensated…notwithstanding the provision of room, board, travel, medical assistance, and other basic living expenses (if that person) has been a member … at least one year.” … states clearly that the “border protection strategy” of the Secretaries of Interior and Agriculture “(will support) the border security needs of the United States in the manner that best protects (wait for it) ‘the land’ that DOI and USDA manages.” In other words, protecting the environment is to be considered more important than protecting the borders … establishes mandatory federal employment authorization verification for ALL workers, including American citizens. A Federal data bank on all American workers … mandates states must create standardized birth and death registrations to be part of the federal database on ALL Americans, including your children. This is a main provision of the Real ID Act - which establishes the national ID card … does not establish penalties in the form of fines and/or imprisonment for illegal invaders, only for those who interact with them, except a church.
Reading this bill, it is evident that its intent is not to stop the invasion of illegals, but to convert those illegals into “authorized” aliens. Worse, it does advance the pernicious “National Human Resource Management” system that has been implemented piecemeal since the 1990s. DHS is helping establish a cradle-to-grave government database that will track all “human resources” for the benefit of big business. This database will detail not only every American resident’s status (your data will also become part of an international database), but also their work skills.Recently DHS Secretary Chertoff said he would not “tolerate interference” with his agency’s programs and actions. True to his word, in total disregard for the U.S. Constitution and States’ rights, the SAVE Act includes a provision stating, “No State may prohibit a person or other entity from using the E-verify program to verify the employment authorization of new hires or current employees.” In short, the bill dictates hiring rules to the states.

“SEC. 203. ESTABLISHMENT OF ELECTRONIC BIRTH AND DEATH REGISTRATION SYSTEMS.
(a) In consultation with the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Commissioner of Social Security, the Secretary shall take the following actions:(1) Work with the States to establish a common data set and common data exchange protocol for electronic birth registration systems and death registration systems.
(2) Coordinate requirements for such systems to align with a national model.
(3) Ensure that fraud prevention is built into the design of electronic vital registration systems in the collection of vital event data, the issuance of birth certificates, and the exchange of data among government agencies.
(4) Ensure that electronic systems for issuing birth certificates, in the form of printed abstracts of birth records or digitized images, employ a common format of the certified copy, so that those requiring such documents can quickly confirm their validity.
(5) Establish uniform field requirements for State birth registries.
(6) Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, establish a process with the Department of Defense that will result in the sharing of data, with the States and the Social Security Administration, regarding deaths of United States military personnel and the birth and death of their dependents.
(7) Not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, establish a process with the Department of State to improve registration, notification, and the sharing of data with the States and the Social Security Administration, regarding births and deaths of United States citizens abroad.
(8) Not later than 3 years after the date of establishment of databases provided for under this section, require States to record and retain electronic records of pertinent identification information collected from requestors who are not the registrants.
(9) Not later than 6 months after the date of the enactment of this Act, submit to Congress a report on whether there is a need for Federal laws to address penalties for fraud and misuse of vital records and whether violations are sufficiently enforced.”
Can there be any doubt that this section of the SAVE Act is designed to establish that birth certificate databank? That’s why APC has charged that the SAVE Act is a tool to help implement the Real ID act and ultimately a National ID system. APC stands opposed to Big Brother’s surveillance over our lives - no matter what the “good intentions.”
APC is fighting the illegal alien invasion as an excuse to back door Big Brother into controlling our lives or to preserve our freedom?
