Tell Congress to mandate E-Verify!

Aug. 1st, 2019 Action Alert Tell Congress to mandate E-Verify! Dear activist, A NEW ACTION HAS BEEN POSTED TO YOUR ACTION BOARD! Take Action! or click http://www.numbersusa.com/faxes/?ID=17789 Rep. Ken Calvert (R-Calif.) has introduced a major piece of legislation that would require most employers to use E-Verify within two years of enactment. Large employers, federal, state, and local agencies and federal and state contractors would need to comply within six months. The bill would also make the E-Verify program permanent and reinstate the no-match letter program to help identify the 7 million illegal aliens currently holding non-agriculture jobs. H.R. 250, The Legal Workforce Act, would: Phase in E-Verify over three years, starting with the largest companies first. Establish a phone verification system as an alternative to using the electronic system. Require the use of E-Verify for those contracted at day labor sites and other referral or recruitment services. Protect employers who use the system in good faith from liability if the system makes an error on eligibility. Protect states' and localities' authority to revoke business licenses of employers who fail to use E-Verify as required by this Act. Significantly increase the penalties for employers who refuse to use the system, or who intentionally try to game it. The fines levied can be up to $25,000 per unauthorized worker and a minimum one-year prison sentence may be imposed on an employer who engages in a "pattern or practice" of violations. Notify employers when there is suspicious, multiple uses of the same Social Security number and requires the employers to run the employee through E-Verify. Send a message to Congress! Please send your U.S. Representative a message and urge him/her to support H.R. 250, the Legal Workforce Act. Send message or click http://www.numbersusa.com/faxes/?ID=17789 Thanks! Moved?
