URGENT: SEND COMMENTS TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT

OPPOSING THE PROPOSED RULE

TO MAKE BASIC PILOT/E-VERIFY MANDATORY

FOR FEDERAL CONTRACTORS

DUE: MONDAY, AUGUST 11, 2008


The federal government has issued a proposed federal rule that would require at least 200,000 federal contractors to use the Basic Pilot/E-Verify program to verify all of their newly-hired employees and some of their existing employees. This will affect about 4 million employees. Although the proposed rule only applies to companies with federal contracts, mandating the use of a system that doesn't work will be disastrous for everyone in the U.S., not just federal contractors.


WHY YOU OR YOUR ORGANIZATION SHOULD SEND COMMENTS:



The proposed rule violates existing federal law which states the program is voluntary and can't be used to re-verify current employees
The proposed rule requires the use of a program that is severely flawed and has substantial rates of employer abuse and discrimination
Lawful immigrant and U.S. citizen workers will be harmed and lose their jobs
The proposed rule ignores the fact that we need to fix our immigration system by giving people a path to legal status
