A White House plan to reform the countrys 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 doesnt 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 Reforms (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.

Let’s hope we’ve got some good non-RINO primary options!
“I do not know of a better solution to the issue.”
Investigate and indict some high profile fedgov officials who are suspected of aiding and abetting illegals and illegal entry.
A witch hunt similar to the Russia “investigation”, if you will.
You’ll see the whole problem disappear overnight.
If Pelosi is against it, no way it passes.
Did Trump push this legislation when GOP controlled the House? Did he try to armtwist Paul Ryan into adopting it? I dont think so. He let Ryan push Ryans agenda
Trump has been pretty good with rhetoric. Not so much with follow-through
Trump could have implemented Universal E-Verify by Executive Order on his first day as President.
Im disappointed in Trump. Hes been great in delivering for Paul Ryans agenda, but mainly talk for his own MAGA agenda
True. RINOs are extremely embedded in the system and hard to remove.
Trump had no leverage over Speaker Paul Ryan. You must learn basics of real world.
The 3rd worlders don't want this country, they just want our perks. We need to stop extending benefits intended for American citizenry to non-citizens before the flood of illegals will subside. Period.
Trump had no leverage over Speaker Paul Ryan.
Well never know, because he didnt try to pressure Ryan on immigration and the wall. He let Ryan push Ryans agenda instead.
Billy Chemirmir is the posterboy for E-verify.
Trump has zero leverage over Congress. Thats why he began treating Nancy Pelosi as the Speaker of the House before Ryan left office. Politically, its just easier to blame Democrats for failing to support an agenda that couldnt get passed in a Republican-controlled Congress, either.
Good point.
E-Verify for students at colleges
I dont see how E-Verify is a step they werent already supposed to do, in some form.
Could you explain to us your concerns?
Isnt E verify already the law?
In this era, the notion that any employer is unknowingly hiring illegals is preposterous and an insult to our collective intelligence.
This does nothing about H1B visas, which is ridiculous. Nobody elected Trump on keeping immigration levels the same, he was elected to STOP it.
If Trump kept all of his pledges, we’d see wage growth skyrocket. He needs to be held accountable and he can’t be allowed to backslide on this “we need LEGAL immigrants to do the jobs” Chamber of Commerce garbage.
So pass the cost onto business and what...hope for the best?
Business already have this issue. Theres no new cost involved.
Why on 53% among the AA’s?
How much does it cost for an employer to run a name through E-verify?
Yes! This is why I voted for the guy.
Again, without leverage, impossible for Trump to pressure Ryan.
No, he couldnt. The president could order that only for all federal employees. He has no authority over you or me or your employer for that.
You dont read the Constitution much, do you?
