Just to be clear, contacting your legislators is a good idea, but it can’t be the end all, because they too often give into business interests.

In the 2010 election, Rick Scott and all the Republican legislative leadership in Florida flat out promised that e verify would be made mandatory. It never even came to a vote because business lobbied to kill it and they all gave in.

This illustrates why states that have a petition process [about half do] to place laws on the ballot for voter approval must use that. Once voted on by the voters, the legislature cannot change them. The Supreme Court has already said states can mandate e verify. Writing letters to these liars and double dealers is useless.
