This is an utterly wonderful development. At long last these illegals won’t be able to move freely among us, taking our jobs, filling our schools and hospitals, and fill our jails from commiting crimes. Background checks will enable the businesses to root out the frauds from the real citizens and it’ll be perfect. Now if only we could introduce this system for welfare recipients, determine who is and isn’t eligible or a citizen. And for our schools in regards to enrollment and who deserves scholarships and then who knows what else. Even other countries could use this to ensure that citizens and not illegals get jobs, or government assistance. Good on Alabama for passing this.
I live in Pennsylvania and we have a very enemic bill that just passed the Senate that uses e-verify on Pa state contracts. I emailed my reps this story and told them we need to do much better. Illegals cost Pa $728 million a year.
It's good that states are trying to do something about this, but DHS is not cooperating with e-verify. They don't even respond to Gov. Haley's (S Car) letters.
