E-Verify program confirming workers’ legal status grows in popularity

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 hoped the increase in funding would 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.”http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-everify14-2009may14,0,7963143.storyBy Anna Gorman – Los Angeles Times
