Effective worksite enforcement is crucial to securing America’s borders and our interior.  Secretary Janet Napolitano, Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Congressman Lamar Smith (R-TX) have all emphasized that employment eligibility verification is central to any bipartisan immigration reform. Congress must ensure that any mandatory employment verification system builds on E-Verify’s success and is easy to use; accurate and reliable; deploy the latest technologies; be fully electronic; protect against identity theft; provide a safe harbor for employers against government error and subcontractor liability; and apply solely to new hires.
