E-Verify can literally save children's lives.

A new study by Hannah Dreier of the New York Times is causing quite the stir, even catching President Biden's attention where he vows to crack down. The study reveals a shocking number of migrant children who are working in unsafe and unprotected conditions in factories all across America.

That's right. It's happening, not in some developing country sweatshop, but right here in the United States of America.

Immigration expansionists focus heavily on process, i.e. making it even easier and more alluring to migrants to make the dangerous journey to the southern border claiming it's the just and compassionate thing to do. They focus far less on what's best for actual people, both migrants and Americans.

E-Verify preserves jobs for U.S. workers

There is nothing compassionate or just in permitting U.S. employers to indenture and abuse children who are ending up in jobs that American adults need, want and could do under safer, lawful labor protections.

Since this story hit the news recently, Biden claims to be cracking down. Tell Biden his threats ring hollow when he refuses to support E-verify and shut off the border valve that saw the highest number of illegal migrant crossings in U.S. history under his watch.

Congress "Clamors for Action?" Really?

The New York Times reports:

"Members of Congress are pressing for stricter laws to prevent and penalize the use of child labor and tougher vetting by the Biden administration of adults who take custody of unaccompanied migrant children, as revelations about the exploitation of underage migrants by employers have prompted outrage among policymakers."

It's preposterous for members of Congress to feign outrage and surprise. Labor protection laws already protect American workers. If Congress would pass E-Verify and the President would enforce immigration law, migrant children would not cross the border in the first place to end up as indentured servants vulnerable to unscrupulous employers ready to exploit them for a paltry below market wage.

Every state is a border state...

Where migrants arrive in mass numbers to place unsustainable demand on local resources:

2022 saw mass illegal immigration become a bipartisan problem for states other than those sharing a border with Mexico. Democratic governor of New York Eric Adams sounded a lot like Republican governors Ron DeSantis-FL and Greg Abbott-TX saying: "This is just unfair for local governments to have to take on this national obligation." His complaint referenced the intent of another Democratic governor, Jared Polis of Colorado to transport migrants from his state to New York.

How ironic.

That grapples with alarming rates of drug-related deaths:

West Virginia Senator Shelley Moore Capito: "Drugs coming through our border are 'killing our people'"

That was one year ago.

And no it is not true that most illicit drug smuggling happens at ports of entry by U.S. citizens as some would try to claim:

"Drug overdoses killed more than 107,000 people in the United States in 2021, the highest total ever, according to the most recent available tallies by the Centers for Disease Control. Two-thirds of those deaths were caused by fentanyl. The highly addictive opioid can be prescribed by physicians to treat severe pain, but illegal tablets from Mexico are flooding across the border at powerful and potentially fatal dosage levels."

Fiscal years 2022- 2023 (to date):

• Methamphetamine 396,000 Ilbs
• Fentanyl 28,000 Ilbs
• Cocaine 89,000 Ilbs
• Khat 205,000 Ilbs

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy:

"You cannot tell us this border is secure when now there's enough fentanyl in this country to kill every single American more than 20 times over," the California Republican said. "This has all got to change. That's our commitment and that's what we'll make happen."

We agree with Speaker McCarthy.

House Republicans promised action on immigration.

NumbersUSA means to hold them to it.

Thank you for sending all of the actions in your action board to our representatives in Congress! Your voice matters!
