WOLF AGAIN COSPONSORS BIPARTISAN BILL TO ADDRESS ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION
Washington, D.C. -- Rep. Frank Wolf (R-10th) today announced that he is again cosponsoring legislation aimed at addressing illegal immigration.
Wolf joined 93 of his colleagues in cosponsoring the Secure America through Verification and Enforcement (SAVE) Act, which focuses on increased border security, enforcement, and employment verification. Wolf cosponsored similar legislation in the 110th Congress.
If enacted, the SAVE Act (H.R. 3308) would increase the number of Border Patrol agents and create a pilot program to increase aerial surveillance, satellite and equipment sharing between the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense. It also would increase the investigative abilities of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) by employing more agents and training additional state and local law enforcement personnel.
In addition, the bill would expand the existing Employment Eligibility Verification (E-Verify) program by requiring that all employers enroll within four years, which would ensure that all workers hired have a valid work permit. The expanded program would begin with the federal government, federal contractors, and employers with over 250 employees. Smaller businesses would begin using the system in a graduated manner.
The bill also would close existing loopholes that allow illegal immigrants to use the same Social Security number and would require information-sharing between the Department of Homeland Security, the Social Security Administration and the IRS. Lastly, it would expedite the deportation of illegal aliens by expanding detention capacity and increasing the number of Federal District Court judges.

Update: March 15, 2010
In his website, he stated:
"I am opposed to amnesty and voted against the 1986 House immigration bill for that reason. Indeed, the massive influx of illegal immigrants over the last two decades has shown that amnesty is not the solution and may, in fact, make the problem worse. I believe that we must secure our borders and address the perverse incentives for illegal immigration before considering broader immigration reform."
