BS. You don’t understand how the E-verify program works. It takes mere seconds for an employer to verify that someone is here legally. It actually protects the employer.

I guess you must object to the I-9 as well. It is required for everyone. It is also rife with fraud, E-verify is superior in every way.

It matter not how the programs works, actually or intended.

It’s not UP TO BIZ to ensure the prospective ‘employee’ is here legally or not; that is a function, well laid out, to Fedzilla.

It’s akin to h’care. The notion that the EMPLOYER is responsible, in ANY fashion, for a service best laid to the end-user.

The govt has dumped yet ANOTHER burden on biz that is not theirs to shoulder.

As to I-9: HELL yes (as per my initial post)

First, it is being done now thru the I-9. Second, e-verify is voluntary now and over 600,000 companies use it. Third, existing law makes it illegal for an employer to hire illegal aliens and imposes a penalty for those who do.

How do you want businesses to be held accountable for violating the law? Why wouldn't a company feel it is to its advantage to clear prospective employees using the existing federal databases including SS and ICE?

LOL. You need to do your homework as to how and why employer furnished healthcare benefits came into being. You are spouting the leftist line to justify universal healthcare. Business would be happy to get out of the healthcare business and turn it over to the government.

E-verify is free and takes only seconds to verify whether someone is here legally or not. One of the biggest magnets for illegal aliens is jobs. They take jobs from Americans and depress wages. Some businesses knowingly hire illegal aliens. They submit fraudulent I-9s. Others bring in guest workers. Each year we bring in 1.1 million legal permanent immigrants along with 640,000 guest workers annually. This at a time when we have the lowest labor participation rates in 38 years.

You sound like the open border libertarians and the Chamber of Commerce. Both political parties have abandoned the American worker.

FYI: AZ passed a mandatory e-verify law (sustained by SCOTUS,) The result was a large scale departure of illegal aliens and more job opportunities for American workers. Trump wants mandatory e-verify just like Jeff Sessions and Steve King. Don't give me the the crap about businesses being overburdened. They privatize the benefits and socialize the costs of illegal aliens. Our schools are being overrun along with the hospitals. Immigrant headed households, legal and illegal, use welfare to a greater extent than the native born. And immigrants, legal and illegal, are taking American jobs.
