Obama Administration and DHS to Gut E-Verify Executive Order - Take Action Now!!!

Pres. Barack Obama

Pres. Barack Obama

NumbersUSA has learned that the Obama Administration will scrap a 2008 executive order making E-Verify mandatory for government contractors and subcontractors and replace it with a weaker version. Send a fax NOW, blasting the Administration for catering to big business, special interest groups and illegal aliens! Visit your Action Buffet and see Roy's blog for more info.

According to the new executive order, government contractors and subcontractors will no longer be obliged to verify all employees working on the government contract. Instead, they will only have to verify those employees who are hired specifically for the contract and are hired after the company receives the government contract. This change will allow illegal aliens to easily acquire government-funded jobs.

Blast Pres. Obama and DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano for their complete disregard for unemployed Americans. By visiting your Action Buffet, you'll find these two free faxes as well as a phone note with a complete list of talking points. Read Roy's blog for more information.

Momentum builds in Congress for mandatory worker verification

In the News - Monday, August 3, 2009

Momentum appears to be growing for legislation that would require all employers, not just federal contractors, to use the E-Verify system to confirm that their employees are eligible to work in the United States.

E-Verify is a Web-based system that allows employers to check the Social Security and visa numbers submitted by workers against government databases. More than 137,000 employers now use the system, which approves 97 percent of workers in a few seconds.
