E-Verify Receives More Funding and More Users

     Despite some misplaced concerns about E-Verify, more than 1,000 new businesses are signing up each week.  Supporters correctly point to its ability to eliminate one of the reasons people come to the United States illegally:


E-Verify is an effective way to attack the jobs magnet for illegal immigrants, said Roy Beck, executive director of Numbers USA, which favors stricter controls on immigration. Beck said he hopes the increase in funding will result in more employers signing up.

“If there aren’t jobs, they stop coming,” he said. “We would rather solve the immigration problems not with people wearing uniforms and guns but simply with papers, just running someone through the computer.”


    
E-Verify won't stop illegal immigration, but I do believe it could cause a reduction, while protecting jobs for those who are able to work legally.  Unfortunately, we will continue to hear lies about E-Verify, such as its ineffectiveness.  As I've written before, nearly 96.5% of those checked in the database are cleared to work instantly or within 24 hours.  The remaining 3.5% either weren't aware they could challenge the mismatch, didn't follow the proper procedures, or are unable to work legally.  Therefore, with better education of the procedures, many of those who received a mismatch would have been cleared to work.  Those in the last group wouldn't have been cleared, since these are the people we are trying to prevent from working. 

     The Obama administration has increased funding for E-Verify by $12 million.  Some of this money should be used to guide those who received a mismatch.  If a focus is placed on helping the 3.5% who received a mismatch, the rate of effectiveness will increase, and every legal worker will be able to work soon after verification.

    Can anybody tell me why we are forced by Federal mandate to pay for all the needs of illegal aliens? Can anybody inform the people, why businesses pay absolutely-- NOTHING--for their upkeep? Can anybody say why Americans will put up with this travesty, because if we start deporting, by whatever means? That prisons will start to empty, our schools will return to places of education and performance without serious overcrowding? That our schools would no longer have to grovel for school materials, instead of teachers, have the kids sell food items to parents? Can any taxpayer tell me why we must allow foreign children receive lower tuition fees than our own children.

    That the federal and state treasuries will begin a slow upsurge towards solvency? That we can once again afford health care for our impoverished citizens, including food stamps and low income housing--instead of being intentionally ignored by Washington? Can anybody tell me why our legislators are in collusion with anti-sovereignty, pro-illegal labor, free traders, who have devastated the less skilled American workers? Can anybody tell me why the majority party wants to pass another AMNESTY? That will give even more illegal aliens access to our wilting Social Security and pensions? Can anybody tell me why with a new path to citizenship, millions of family members will be admitted under the family unification, which you will also need to be supported? Is there any logic reason to pass the AGJOB bill for foreign farm workers, when their is a law in place already? Can anybody impress on me why illegal labor, who taxpayers subsides, yet our government allows them to send billions of dollars overseas?

    Can anybody rationalize to me, why the Supreme Court says having a bogus social security number is not a felony? Can anybody tell me why we admit 2.5 million legal immigrants annually, but our lawmakers give lip service to enforcing an undermanned, partially built border fence, or enforce the border permanently with Nation Guard troops? Can anybody offer an explanation why E-Verify, 247(g) or the Real ID act has been weakened, by Sen. Harry Reid, Speaker Pelosi and a host of other confederates to weaken our immigration laws? Can anybody tell me why they want to count millions of illegal aliens in the census, thus giving more fraudulent seats in Congress to Sanctuary States like California and more funding. Can anybody express to me why many larger newspapers and media don't expose the truth about the out-of-control crime by illegal nationals The ugly facts at NUMBERSUSA.
