[QUOTE="wing2000, post: 73332621, member: 314005"] President Trump vows to put American workers first. As a candidate: [I]“We will ensure that E-Verify is used to the fullest extent possible under existing law, and we will work with Congress to strengthen and expand its use across the country,” [/I]he declared in a [URL='http://www.latimes.com/politics/la-na-pol-donald-trump-immigration-speech-transcript-20160831-snap-htmlstory.html']2016 speech in Arizona[/URL]. Yet nearly two years into his administration he has yet to make E-Verify a priority. Only eight states require employers to use E-Verify today. “The president has been very weak on this subject,” said Roy Beck, president of NumbersUSA, an organization that has campaigned for a national E-Verify mandate since 1996 in its quest for reduced immigration. “Even though he’s not pushing hard for it and even though the Republican leadership has been really sluggish on this, the Republican Party as a whole is overwhelmingly for this.” “Allowing businesses to employ people illegally is like the government leaving the keys in an unlocked car,” Beck said. “You’re going to get a lot of stolen cars.” E-Verify has proved effective at keeping immigrants who are in the country illegally from taking American jobs.[B] [/B]In Arizona, which pioneered the mandatory checks in 2008, the number of unauthorized workers dropped 33 percent below what was projected without the requirement, according to a [URL='https://www.dallasfed.org/research/pubs/everify']2017 analysis by the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas.[/URL] [URL]https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/trump-is-very-weak-on-this-one-popular-way-to-curb-illegal-immigration/2018/05/22/adf5f85e-399b-11e8-acd5-35eac230e514_story.html?utm_term=.8f333f09c41b[/URL] [/QUOTE]
