We support this temporary extension of the E-Verify program to allow all stakeholders the time required to craft a verification system that works fairly and effectively for employers and employees alike. Moreover, we encourage the Senate to follow suit and provide a temporary extension of the E-Verify program in its version of the stimulus legislation.
We are opposed, however, to any amendment that may be offered to the Senate stimulus bill that would require organizations as a condition of receiving federal contract money, to participate in the E-Verify program.
