E-Verify is intended to be enforced across the United States On May 26, the federal Supreme Court ruled in favor of Arizona on an immigration law, bringing the United States one step closer to fully implementing the mandatory E-Verify system. This state mandates that employers use E-Verify to confirm that employees are legally eligible to work. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) praised the Supreme Court's ruling and plans to introduce a bill that would mandate the nationwide implementation of E-Verify. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the plaintiff in Arizona’s immigration law, is negotiating with Smith on the content of the bill. Smith emphasized that the use of an "electronic employee identity verification system" is the secret to solving the unemployment rate in the United States. According to Reuters, based on census data and Bureau of Labor Statistics, more than 1 million foreign workers have found new jobs in the United States in the past two years, about one-third of whom are illegal workers. During the same period, a total of 2 million Americans were unemployed. Smith said that a total of 260,000 Americans are now unemployed or unemployed, which is a real tragedy. He emphasized that jobs should come to Americans first. Smith also dismissed the idea that illegal workers are doing jobs that Americans don't want to do. The trial period of E-Verify will expire in 2012. The electronic identity authentication system allows employers to compare newly hired employees' documents and information on government websites with their Social Security numbers and the federal Department of Homeland Security database to confirm that the employee is eligible to work in the United States legally. The Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates that mandating that employers across the country use E-Verify would cost a total of $18 billion over the next 10 years. Taylor., policy director of the National Immigration Law Center. Mo Ran pointed out that 54% of illegal immigrant employees were not detected by the electronic identity authentication system. She opposes mandatory requirements for employers to use the federal electronic ID system. Smith's case is expected to pass the House. Senate Majority Leader Reid, who has been playing the "Dream Act" card, suggested tying the "Dream Act" to the full implementation of the "Electronic Employee Identity Verification System" across the United States. I believe Smith, who opposes amnesty, would disagree. The Dream Act allows undocumented high school graduates who attend college or serve in the military to obtain legal status. The person concerned must be under 32 years old, came to the United States before the age of 16, and has lived in the United States continuously for the past five years. Smith served for many years as a member of the Judiciary Committee's Immigration Subcommittee. With Smith on guard, it is extremely unlikely that Congress will pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill. The Senate will also become a queen next year and will be even more unfriendly to immigrants. By then, it will be easy to fully implement the "Electronic Employee Identity Verification System". It depends on whether President Obama will sign it.
