Petition Will Bring Bill to House Floor if Majority of Members Sign
Washington, D.C. – Representative Heath Shuler today signed a discharge petition on the
Secure America through Verification and Enforcement Act, H.R. 4088, which he
authored and introduced in November.
“I believe in the SAVE Act. It is commonsense, bipartisan legislation that secures our
borders and will stop illegal immigration. I would have preferred that the SAVE Act
came to the floor through regular order, but it deserves to be debated and voted upon on
the House floor,” Rep. Shuler said.
If the discharge petition receives 218 signatures the SAVE Act would move directly to
the floor.
