A White House plan to reform the country’s legal immigration system includes a provision that mandates the use of E-Verify to prevent employers from hiring illegal aliens over American citizens.
Mandatory E-Verify, pro-American immigration reformers previously said, was crucial to any immigration plan unveiled by the White House as, currently, American workers are forced to compete against illegal aliens for working class jobs in a majority of states that do not mandate the use of E-Verify.
“Even though the plan doesn’t reduce numbers overall, it contains no amnesty or guest worker increases, mandates E-Verify, and addresses the wholesale abuse of our asylum policies,” the Federation for American Immigration Reform’s (FAIR) RJ Hauman told Breitbart News.
In states that have implemented mandatory E-Verify, the program has resulted in fewer jobless Americans, the most recent study by FAIR has found.
Mandatory E-Verify continues to be one of the most popular national immigration policies across party lines and the American electorate. In November 2018 exit polling by Zogby Analytics for FAIR, a total of 75 percent of American voters said they support mandatory E-Verify to prevent businesses from hiring illegal aliens over U.S. workers.
This includes a majority of Democrats, nearly 55 percent; more than 90 percent of Republicans, and nearly 80 percent of swing voters who support mandatory E-Verify. Across all demographic groups, mandatory E-Verify enjoys majority support. More than 80 percent of white Americans, nearly 74 percent of Asian Americans, 58 percent of Hispanic Americans, and nearly 53 percent of black Americans support the implementation of mandatory E-Verify to shore up jobs for American citizens.

Yes, I saw that. Over 500,000 letters apparently have gone out since March.
E-verify is a system in concert with any other reporting a business must do. It ALREADY must file social security and medicare payments, so it already uses the Social Security number.
It would be just one more box to check on the online application form.
But an employer who wasn’t filing for e-verity ALSO would not be filing for Social Security. They would be paying under the table.
If it’s not a watered down version, I absolutely agree with you.
Do they get paid for making social security payments?
“But an employer who wasn’t filing for e-verity ALSO would not be filing for Social Security. They would be paying under the table.”
And they will continue doing so.
Again, terrible idea.
Build a wall, leave the private sector alone.
“Do they get paid for making social security payments?”
Nope. Businesses are unpaid tax collectors.
Employers paying under the table will have no excuse for not using E-Verify. Why would I want to unburden a cheating employer?
Do you see that changing?
I see it as keeping to domains of dara appropriately searate. The employer needs legal status information on only the prospective employee. The government needs legal status for all, but does not need the information of who is applying for what job.
I do not know of a better solution to the issue.
Finally! i wanted this his first day in office.
I think the millions of SS numbers that don’t match up could be investigated by an army of cotton heads. It’s THEIR money that’s at risk. Just look up the number and find out the status of the real user.
This needs to be expanded to the university system. Particularly public universities that tout themselves as diverse because they accept foreign and DACA students, while working class Americans are paying full tuition to cover their costs. It’s theft and should be illegal.
“Employers paying under the table will have no excuse for not using E-Verify.”
They currently have no excuse for not paying SS and medicare. Yet they don’t. E-verify is not going to change that.
“Why would I want to unburden a cheating employer?”
Why would you want to unburden a cheating federal government?
“Passing the buck (and costs) to businesses for a job the fed gov can and should be doing.“
it’s greedy employers that hire illegals over Americans that are causing the problem. So stopping them has to impact all employers, unfortunately
Most California employers are not required to use E-Verify. In 2012, it became unlawful in California for the state or a city, county, or special district to require an employer to use an electronic employment verification system, such as E-Verify
Let’s use this as a qualifier to primary out the RINOs up for re-election in 2020 and to scare the bejeezus out of the ones coming up in following election.
“it’s greedy employers that hire illegals over Americans that are causing the problem. So stopping them has to impact all employers, unfortunately.”
No it’s corrupt federal government officials that are causing the problem.
They need to be held accountable.
E-verify ensures they get off the hook.
Nice account..!!!
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.
