Almost like I put my foot in my mouth. There were several inaccuracies in my post called "Hard For Business<\/a>", about how Congress is dragging it's feet on E-Verify.<\/p>\n

I had said that there were no businesses opposing this, but that was an incorrect statement. Seems that leading the charge (after the doltish Congress) against E-Verify is the U.S. Chamber of Commerce<\/a>. They will get my wrath in a separate email. Suffice it to say that their opposition is over "what it will cost businesses to implement e-verify." <\/p>\n

Well, I tracked down what E-Verify<\/a> is all about and based on what ALL businesses are required to do, the burden for E-Verify is a drop in the bucket. There is no charge to get on E-Verify, and there are no equipment requirements other than "internet acceess via a web browser." E-Verify is in addition to the "I-9" form that IS<\/strong> required of ALL<\/strong> employers. You hire somebody, they have to<\/strong> fill out an I-9, and you<\/strong> have to make an effort (of some kind) to verify that the person you have hired is "eligible to work." [more]<\/p>\n

Actually has nothing to do with immigration, but whether the new employee has all the papers that make them eligible to work – Social Security, Green Card, H1-B, etc. As an employer, you have to get them to sign the I-9 then do some kind of check to make sure they can work for you. E-Verify can only be done after<\/em> you have hired the person and set a date when they will start work for you. Per the USCIS (U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services)<\/a>, "The employer must initiate the query no later than the end of 3 business days after the new hire<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
