Workplace verification is now available with just an 800 call in all 50 States. House Rules Chair David Dreier has introduced HR 5111 which will make the program mandatory.

It is worthless until it's mandatory and accompanied with prosecution for those who break this law. With Dreier sponsoring it it will die. He is not an opponent of illegal immigration plus I'm convinced that California Ag businesses are large contributers to his campaigns funds

The current 50 State voluntary program was expanded from a five State pilot program by legislation President Bush signed in 2003. Consider it a grace period, during which employers have the opportunity to verify the eligibility of their work force and remove illegals without a huge disruption to their businesses. I'm optimistic that because Dreier is GOP establishment and has recently been seen as soft on illegal aliens his legislation will be more likely pass.

Should of been mandatory from the get-go.....

Whens the last time the 'critters' passed a new law for citizens to *voluntarily* abide by ???
