"Repeatedly on the campaign trail, President-Elect Obama pledged to be a strong advocate for America's workers, particularly to help get the unemployed back to work. Yet, the Obama staffcontinue to proclaim support for legalizing the estimated 7 million illegal foreign workers (plus their families). These illegal workers are primarily in the construction, service and manufacturing jobs, but also in the higher skilled jobs, being actively sought by the 10 million officially unemployed Americans.
A legalization program would permanently remove 7 million jobs from being available for American workers. We the undersigned urge President-Elect Obama (1) to reject legalization and (2) to make vulnerable Americans your priority, mandating workplace verification to open up millions of jobs to U.S. citizens and lawfully present immigrants.
