If only we could require this of fast food franchises, construction workers, and local schools.

The E-verify should be required of all employers regardless of job or size of business, not just government contractors. Giving jobs and promoting illegals over american citizen applicants and workers is against the law and must be enforced. Utah needs to act responsible and conform to the laws of the land, there are no exceptions in the law. E-verify is a very poor system of verification when all they have to do is ask for the applicants green card, visa, or passport. A very simple thing yet not enforced as the law requires. Utah keeps trying to write and pass laws to work around the green card requirements of foreign nationals. We don't need laws that try to circumvent federal laws, we need inforcement of federal labor laws and the rest will take care of itself. Utah's labor laws are the federal laws, as stated in our constitution, now our corporate leaders in Utah are trying to write laws outside of labor laws to circumvent our own constitutional law. All necessary laws are already in place, just use them. Citizens are being treated with discrimination and illegal laws preventing them from getting and keeping jobs in Utah.

You might think that illegal aliens would avoid government jobs. Not so!
Earlier this week a sweep of courthouse cleaning crews in Rhode Island netted 31 illegal aliens.
Yes, it is important for government to use E-Verify to screen contract workers.
And don't get rope-a-doped by this nonsense about database inaccuracy. There are procedures in place to correct any errors without loses or discrimination.
The big problem is ID sharing. The system won't detect that. Yet.

This of course may make some employers think twice before hiring illegal aliens. How many times have we heard of illegals caught working at Hill AFB? E-Verify is totally effective against ID fraud, but ineffective against ID sharing and ID theft. E-Verify checks to see if the name, birthday and social security number match, or if the green card is valid. If there are errors, they can easily be corrected.

Since the Social Security Administration refuses to share information with Department of Homeland Security (left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing) there are IDs that have been sold and so the holder appears to be a citizen. There are often 50 or more individuals using the same ID, and are even in possession of a copy of a valid birth certificate. Illegal aliens with this type of identification can pass themselves off as citizens. They can collect benefits, obtain a drivers license, and even vote if they want to. If they are caught the worst that will happen is that they MAY get deported, but then they may not, if their political and legal sympathizers and enablers are able to help them.

In just the state of California: 40% of all workers in L. A. County ( L. A. County has 10.2 million people)are working for cash and not paying taxes. This is because they are predominantly illegal immigrants working without a green card. Less than 2% of illegal aliens are picking our crops, but 29% are on welfare. We need to enforce the law and penalize the people who employ illegals

I think that its ok to Verify workers weather they working ilegal or not. But! what if 60% of them r ilegal but they r the onec that r making the company grow up with ther hard work. Un like the other 50% that r legal or citizens". WE have to asept that some of our U.S citizens R too laZ to work so others that do like to work take the job!
