Trump could have implemented Universal E-Verify by Executive Order on his first day as President.

E-Verify has a pristine 33 year legal foundation based originally on statutes found in the 1986 Reagan Amnesty.

Since then, the legal weight of E-Verify has been buttressed by several Executive Orders and several agency rules in the 1990s and 2000s.

Equally important, at least 16 states have legislated their own E-Verify laws, all of which have been upheld in Court, with at least one case being won in the Supreme Court.

Tragically, Universal E-Verify will never be enforced, by any President, even if this new legislation is passed by Congress.

I’m disappointed in Trump. He’s been great in delivering for Paul Ryan’s agenda, but mainly talk for his own MAGA agenda

No, he couldn’t. The president could order that only for all federal employees. He has no authority over you or me or your employer for that.

You don’t read the Constitution much, do you?
