E-Verify Is Crucial To U.S. Security

 Most Americans laugh when asked if this federal program works or if that federal program works. The overwhelming majority of citizens would no doubt say the majority of federal programs do not work, are corrupted, are ripe with fraud or simply are a waste of taxpayer money. However, the E-Verify program is one such program that actually does work. It has an effective rate of over 97 percent. It is a means to keep illegal aliens from getting a job on the books. That, in turn, keeps those job openings for American citizens and legal immigrants. It works by a company signing up with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. www.uscis.gov. Then anytime a prospective employee files an application, his info is sent to USCIS and that company will get a response within 24 hrs as to whether that individual is legal to work in the United States. There is no racial profiling or any kind of bias. USCIS simply checks the info in the database and gives the company a straight up yes or no answer as to the legality of the prospective employee. That is all there is to it. It will take an employee about 10 to 15 minutes to register with USCIS AND IT IS FREE TO DO SO. There is no charge so companies really have no excuse not to use it unless they do not know about it or are looking to use illegal alien labor. This is one tool you can use to help fight illegal immigration. No jobs means no ability to stay here. if you are a business owner like I am, THEN REGISTER AND USE IT! If you are an employee, then pressure your boss to use it. Like I said, it takes 10 to 15 minutes to register and it is free. No loss of employee production because of this program. There are a lot of states now looking to make it mandatory for any company in their state to use E-Verify. With unemployment at 9.2 percent (U3 index), this is one way to ensure jobs go to those that have a right to them. The real unemployment number (U6 index) is actually over 16 percent now. Few people realize how illegal immigration is decimating our economy from the federal level all the way down to the local level. One key to stopping it is to turn off the jobs for people who do not have a right to work in this country. We all need to do our part!
