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 staff continue 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.

NumbersUSA Action is a non-profit, non-partisan, public policy organization that opposes efforts to use federal
immigration policies to force mass U.S. population growth and to depress wages of vulnerable workers. NumbersUSA
Action is pro-environment, pro-worker, pro-liberty and pro-immigrant. Activists in the NumbersUSA Action network
are Americans of all races and include many immigrants and the spouses, children and parents of immigrants. Our
goal is to carry out the immigration-reduction recommendations from two national commissions of the 1990s:
1) The bi-partisan U.S. Commission on Immigration Reform urged reduction in immigration numbers that are now so
high as to harm the most vulnerable American workers and their families
2) To achieve an environmentally sustainable society, the President's Council on Sustainable Development urged
reducing immigration numbers to a level that will allow the U.S. population to stabilize.
