The Daily Caller, 02/01/2013 –
“Iowa…Sen. Chuck Grassley introduced legislation on Thursday [January 31, 2013] requiring all employers to confirm the legality of their employees through E-Verify.
“‘E-Verify will safeguard opportunities for legal workers and give employers a reliable tool to have a legal workforce,’ Grassley, the ranking member on the Senate judiciary committee, said in a statement.
“Should Grassley’s Accountability Through Electronic Verification Act of 2013 pass, the program would be instituted permanently and be made mandatory for all employers within one year of its enactment.
“It would also increase the penalty for employers who hire undocumented workers, and require employers to check the status of all current employees and new hires within three years.
“…Grassley introduced similar legislation in 2011 that died in committee.”
