Thread: NEW CAPS ALERT-6/13/08 E-Verify

Take Action. Now!

Alert! Senate legislation would expand and improve the E-Verify program!

S 3093, by Senator Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), would reauthorize, enlarge, and improve the E-Verify program that allows employers to ascertain the work eligibility of new employees.

The verification system, formerly the Basic Pilot program, was first authorized in 1996 and allowed only five states to participate. The program was reauthorized in 2001 and then expanded in 2003. The last expansion allowed employers in all 50 states the opportunity to use the program voluntarily.

Among many things this legislation would do, it would make the E-Verify Program permanent, and require employers to re-verify employees who are in the United States on temporary status.

Thanks for the post.

Completed!

Mark Krikorian of the CIS has said the legislation is a Trojan Horse because the Social Security database is buggier and therefor easier for the opposition to argue to delay implementing.

Lou Dobbs was questioning Senator Grassley about this not being required for businesses, and the Senator said that he did what he thought may have a chance at passage.

President Bush should have extended his Executive Order on E Verify to include businesses in general. Oh the outrage from the Chamber of Commerce on that.
