E-Verify rule delayed yet again

Ready for the feds’ E-Verify mandate that’s supposed to take effect at the end of this month? If not, don’t worry about it.

The rule’s effective date has been pushed back yet again, this time to September 8.

A regulation requiring federal contractors to use E-Verify was proposed by President Bush in June 2008 and scheduled to go into effect in January. Then, the Chamber of Commerce sued to block the rule, and President Obama moved the effective date back to give the new administration more time to review the reg.

It was then pushed back again — and again.

If the rule ever makes it into the books, it will apply to companies with contracts lasting more than 120 days, valued at more than $120,000 and involving work done in the United States.

Those companies not already using E-Verify will have to:

  • enroll in the program within 30 days of being awarded the contract
  • start verifying all new hires within 90 days of enrollment
  • verify existing employees who are assigned to work on the contract, and
  • continue using E-Verify for the duration of the contract.

    2. Americans better wake up, because we are definitely going to get financially overwhelmed with another BLANKET AMNESTY. E-Verify a unique weapon against illegal immigration in the workplace, but must be implemented permanently. It should be enforced for every worker, no matter how long they have worked for any business? There are hundreds of thousands of foreign nationals, working on all rungs of the business ladder, without their immigration status being scrutinized? Don’t let the special interest lobby of globalists and open border insane ideology steal American jobs. They want as much cheap labor as they can cram into our nation, to lower wages in their agenda. E-verify can and will identify foreign labor and errors can be resolved by approaching your Social Security Agency. Its certainly obvious Illegal aliens will stay well away from this government office.

    DEMAND E-VERIFY FROM YOUR INDIFFERENT SENATORS. JUST AS WE VOTED THEM IN–THEY CAN BE THROWN OUT. STOP ANOTHER 20 million plus illegal family Blanket AMNESTY before it’s too late? REMEMBER MILLIONS MORE WILL RUSH OUR BORDER, ONCE THE WORD GOES OUT OF AMNESTY.

    A resounding–NO–to any AMNESTY. Outside of this–NOTHING WILL HAPPEN–EXCEPT ANOTHER PRE-ARRANGED AMNESTY, THAT TAXPAYERS WILL GET THE BILL FOR IN INFINITY, IF WE DON’T SPEAK UP?
