Letter: Legislators should support E-Verify language in Florida House Bill 7089

The Florida Legislature has the responsibility to protect law-abiding businesses and legal workers, not illegal alien workers and the businesses that employ them. Our elected officials should support the E-Verify language in House Bill 7089.

What is E-Verify? It is a free, successful federal program. The employers are required to confirm if their new hire is an American citizen. It has been utilized in 15 states and is totally non-discriminatory.

E-Verify is simply about protecting jobs that belong to American citizens. Over the past three years the Florida Legislature has blocked 26 immigration bills.

They need to take seriously their responsibility to protect law-abiding businesses from the unlawful hiring of illegal alien workers.

Contact your local representatives and senators for our unemployed.
