Perhaps their opposition to
the bill is about something else in the bill and not the single aspect of E-verify.
I know that
this doesn't sound good to me at all...
H.R.2164 SEC. 11. BIOMETRIC EMPLOYMENT ELIGIBILITY VERIFICATION PILOT PROGRAM.(a) In General- Not later than 18 months after the date of the enactment of the Legal Workforce Act, the Secretary of Homeland Security, after consultation with the Commissioner of Social Security and the Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, shall establish by regulation a Biometric Employment Eligibility Verification pilot program (the `Biometric Pilot'). The purpose of the Biometric Pilot shall be to provide for identity authentication and employment eligibility verification with respect to enrolled new employees which shall be available to subject employers who elect to participate in the Biometric Pilot. Any subject employer may cancel the employer's participation in the Biometric Pilot after one year after electing to participate without prejudice to future participation.It sounds to me like another attempt to get a national ID passed through other means, but then again, I could be wrong.
