North Carolina Democratic Rep. Heath Shuler - together with Sen. David Vitter - will re-introduce the "Secure America Through Verification and Enforcement Act" (SAVE Act). Per this it would:
* Require employers to use the federal government's E-Verify database to make sure they're hiring legal workers.
* Increase the number of Border Patrol agents by 6,000.
* Create a pilot program to increase aerial surveillance and use other new technology to secure the border.
* Hire more Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and create grants for some local law enforcement officials.
* Expedite removal of illegal immigrants by expanding detention capacity and adding immigration judges.
