John A. Niotti-Soltesz, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Zerco Systems International, Inc., said, "The Z-ID Cards System, with vast secure optical memory, can help generate a secure business environment for workers and companies throughout Corporate America."

"The Zerco integrated ID management solution has the authentication functionality in place now to verify the millions of Permanent Resident Green Cards of immigrant workers, and as stand-alone systems can provide employers with verifiable information about workers," he said.

Congress is considering comprehensive immigration reform, with measures including helping businesses gain access to immigrant workers with skills they seek.

Niotti-Soltesz said, "Zerco has a track-record working with government and private sector technology integrators. For over a decade, we focused on issues from secure passports and ID permanent resident visas to border crossing ID cards to help secure America."

He added, "Comprehensive immigration reform, such as advocated by The Latino Coalition, will lead to a more secure America, strengthened the U.S. economy and broadened our tax base."

Zerco uses the most advanced biometrics technology available, with vast optical card memory capacity featuring access protected information based on Zerco's proprietary algorithms and technology, with instantaneous on-site Zerco reader capability for a variety of security and information solutions for business and government.

Under Hector V. Barreto, Chairman of The Latino Coalition and former Administrator of the U.S. Small Business Administration, and TLC President Robert De Posada, TLC monitors public policy to help build bridges of understanding in America, where over 41 million Latinos represent 14 per cent of the population. TLC is the national advocate of business, economic and social development of Hispanics.

Zerco, based in Brookfield, Ohio, is a developer and integrator of proprietary optical memory card technology and biometric verification-based ID systems for homeland security and healthcare, with ID management solutions for government, Corporate America and others concerned about security and protected information, both domestically and internationally.
