Shame. eVerify all current and new workers, full-time, part-time, perm, temp, contract, day labor, everyone! Eliminate the work opportunity for illegal aliens. What does Massie think is the downside to this? We already have SSN, we already do I-9, W-2, and so forth. This does not add any further burden upon an employee. And it does not give the government any more information than it already has. What it does do is hold employers accountable to make sure they are only employing legal workers.
“… Giving the federal government more power over YOU is a mistake in my opinion.
I support border security, but not E-verify.…”

He’s WRONG on this. Right on many things but INEXCUSABLY WRONG on opposing E-verify. E-verify needs to be strengthened and managed in a manner that will actually deter employment of illegals working with assumed identities. And, yes, it COULD do that.
E-verify is absolutely essential if the border is to be restored and the MIVs removed from the country...
Failure to pass E-verify for someone already in a job should be prison for both the MIV and the employer...
If you want to turn off the magnet that is jobs and handouts, you need the tools to identify eligibility (legal residency status), and the laws to require employers and bureaucracies to use them. E-verify was a Reagan policy, and has long had nearly unanimous support among conservatives. Democrats have fought and undermined it since day 1. Now it’s suddenly an infringement on our freedom and a “burden”? Like presenting an ID to vote is a burden? Come on Massie...
The Left wants open borders so they can treat us all as criminal suspects.
If an illegal cannot legally work anywhere in America, he/she will self-deport or resort to crime to remain.
The present lawlessness cannot continue in America without triggering all-out civil war. Lawlessness in a nation of 330 million people is unsustainable. It will lead to massive bloodshed.
How does Massie define “border security”.?
@RepThomasMassie = America Last POS.
It doesn’t harass Americans, only those not from America, which is the point of the program. MIT, huh? More like community college knowledge level.
Hey, he got his orders from the Chamber of Commerce donor office.
What did you expect him to do?
He’s a God-damned liar. He knows full well that the federal government ALREADY requires you to provide your ID to work. All E-Verify does is make sure that an illegal alien isn’t using the ID that the federal government already requires you to supply.
Massey is only protecting illegal aliens and corrupt business owners who cheat to get a leg up on their competition and rob the taxpayers blind.
Damn him to hell. No pit is deep enough.
He did NOT support border security when it came to Trump building the wall. He fought tooth and nail to deny funding for it. The guy is OK when his raging never Trumpism does not cloud his mind. He likes to claim he’s Mr. Constitutionalist but had zero to say when 70% of his constituents, including me, were disenfranchised in 2020.
This guy needs to have his business dealings looked at more closely.
Everyone is pushing E-verify, even Masse by this fake not supporting it.
The fact is they are illegally giving illegal aliens social security numbers at the border. E-verify will say those illegals are authorized work as much as any American.
E-verify is the only way to keep employers honest. Otherwise they hire illegals all day long. Especially in the construction trades.
Idiocy This is the ONE thing that will separate the invaders from US citizens. To gain employment we should have to show ID / birth certificate indicating US citizenship, or an applicable visa. Especially if you don’t speak English well.
The Deplorables want a Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement bill, missing since 1986 ONE TIME amnesty. Since that amnesty was granted already, a second amnesty is off the table. What remains is the enforcement the Democrats have disallowed since then.
The List of Comprehensive Immigration Enforcement, missing since 1986 goes like this -
1) southern barrier;
2) require eVerify to hire;
3) end all chain migration;
4) birthright per Minor v. Happersett (plural citizen parents = nat born citizen);
5) end work visas;
6) 40-year moratorium on all new applications for citizenship (to allow workplace automation effects on downsizing population);
7) Set up an illegal aliens’ victim restitution fund from tax on remittances. Use tax on remittances to replenish Social Security account.
Enactment of these provisions will motivate illegal aliens to SELF-deport, and remove colonizadors from our welfare rolls
E-Verify is the government’s way of forcing employers to the job the government refuses to do.
