Thread: CAPS--E-Verify

Take Action ALERT! Make E-Verify mandatory with the E-LAW Act!

For years, we have struggled to maintain the current, voluntary E-Verify program, which must be periodically renewed. Now, Rep. John Carter (R-TX) has introduced HR 800 to require all employers to use E-Verify for both new and existing employees. The Jobs Recovery by Ensuring a Legal American Workforce Act of 2011, the E-LAW Act, has both Democratic and Republican co-sponsors.

The voluntary E-Verify program helps those companies who want to, or are willing to, comply with our laws, but it will not affect unscrupulous businesses who purposely seek to exploit illegal immigrant labor. HR 800 would require employers to use the program, based on a phased-in timeline. The timeline would require the largest companies to comply within one year of enactment. Smaller companies would have up to two years to adopt the program.

The bill would also increase penalties for employers that fail to comply with the E-Verify program, and it would prohibit them from deducting wages paid to illegal workers from their federal income taxes.

Making E-Verify mandatory is an important step in putting Americans back to work and fixing our broken immigration system.
