Heh.

E-Verify.

Bring it on.

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2025/01...

E-Verify is a federal service created 28 years ago that employers can use to confirm employees’ eligibility to work in the United States through the Department of Homeland Security. It stems from the 1986 Reagan amnesty law, which banned employers from knowingly hiring illegal aliens and later gave them a tool to enforce it. While hardly a silver bullet, it’s free, fast, and effective.

“If you aren’t for E-Verify, you aren’t serious about controlling immigration,” says border expert Mark Krikorian, who heads the Center for Immigration Studies. The system works through deterrence. A sign on the door indicating a fast-food restaurant uses E-Verify is “a signal to illegal job-seekers that they should apply elsewhere,” he explains.

CIS considers universal E-Verify a “basic tenet” for any robust immigration policy. “We can’t control the border without it,” Krikorian told me. “It’s important to deport the illegal migrants already here, but you must weaken the jobs magnet attracting people to sneak across the border or overstay their visas. It’ll make tracking people down a lot easier if it’s less attractive to come here in the first place and embed themselves in our society,” he added.

“E-Verify can do that.”

We've been talking about that for at least 30 years. Who was that crusty old b@stard that used to insist that worked 20 years ago? Can't remember his name. We don't mind. Get it up and working and we'll see. This should be done on day one of the Trump Kingdom, if not Trump takes an L.
