E-Verify, The Epitaph Of Illegal Immigration

E-Verify, The Epitaph Of Illegal Immigration:

"Chief Justice Roberts wrote the main opinion for the court, which will leave the door open for states to end the illegal alien invasion:

“We hold that Arizona’s licensing law falls well within the confines of the authority Congress chose to leave to the states and therefore is not expressly preempted.” “no basis in law, fact, or logic” for the argument that Arizona should be stopped from doing so in the name of federal “preemption” of state activity.

Other states are following Arizona's example and considering requiring all employers to enroll in the Homeland Security Department's voluntary E-Verify program, which compares employees' names and Social Security numbers with government data bases. Georgia has just recently enacted this type of law.

A federal version of E-Verify will soon be introduced by House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith, R-TX. Congressman Smith weighed in on E-Verify:

“I am pleased the Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Arizona E-Verify law and their right to revoke business licenses for employers that knowingly hire illegal immigrants. Not only is this law constitutional, it is commonsense.”"
