Immigration bill guts E-Verify for years

The Senate’s complex immigration bill would instantly gut the popular E-Verify system that is widely used to exclude illegal immigrants from jobs, and then create an enforcement gap for several years before the arrival of a replacement system.

“There’s no doubt that the bill eliminates E-Verify immediately upon signing,” said Kris Kobach, secretary of state of Kansas, told The Daily Caller.

“If there’s no statutory authority for E-Verify, there’s no E-Verify,” said Kobach, a lawyer trained at Harvard, Oxford and Yale universities, and a prominent advocate for reduced immigration.

The claim is vehemently disputed by the bills’ advocates, including staffers working for Sen. Marco Rubio.

However, Rubio staffers were unable to show TheDC any text in the legislation that gives the current E-Verify system legal backing until the new system is mandated in several years.

The multi-year gap in E-Verify enforcement creates a political problem for Rubio and the other advocates of the Senate immigration bill....

Thank God for the state approving who you can hire, comrade.

You are either young or an arrogant Libertarian. I went through all Libertarian phases years back.

Anyway Einstein, e-verify is a net positive to help control the failed border mess we have.

Any country has the legal and moral right to make sure that only "citizens" or legal aliens are allowed to work. In no way does that contradict our Founders principles.

He’s a troll. Spotted him long ago.

Yep, no doubt. Most likely he is a DUmpster fan who trolls to needle Conservatives.

Nothing he posts shows a love of Country or our beloved Constitution.
