Indiana Senate Passes E-Verify Mandate
Thursday, February 4, 2010, 2:16 PM EST - posted on NumbersUSA


The Indiana Senate overwhelmingly passed Sen. Mike Delph's E-Verify bill by a 46-to-4 margin. The bill now moves to the House for its approval.

If passed in the House, the bill would require state agencies and contractors to verify worker eligibility of all new hires using E-Verify. According to DHS data, 96.9% of U.S. citizens and legal residents receive immediate confirmation. Of the remaining 3.1%, 0.3% eventually receive a confirmation, and the remaining 2.8% are ineligible to work.

Currently, 10 states have passed E-Verify mandates, and another three states have executive orders in place requiring its usage. (View a map of these states.)
