Alert! Make E-Verify mandatory with the E-LAW Act! |
For years, we have struggled to maintain the current, voluntary E-Verify program, which must be periodically renewed. Now, Rep. John Carter (R-TX) has introduced HR 800 to require all employers to use E-Verify for both new and existing employees. The Jobs Recovery by Ensuring a Legal American Workforce Act of 2011, the E-LAW Act, has both Democratic and Republican co-sponsors. The voluntary E-Verify program helps those companies who want to, or are willing to, comply with our laws, but it will not affect unscrupulous businesses who purposely seek to exploit illegal immigrant labor. HR 800 would require employers to use the program, based on a phased-in timeline. The timeline would require the largest companies to comply within one year of enactment. Smaller companies would have up to two years to adopt the program. |
