While we're shy of reporting on rumors, the word from Washington Technology today is that a representative from trade association TechAmerica has emailed their membership with the news that the deadline for Federal Contractors to comply with E-Verify will be delayed, yet again, this time to September 8. The ruling was most recently postponed to June 30th to allow the Obama administration more time to review the rule.
Official announcements may come later this week. If the rumor is true, then this will be the fourth time that E-verify has been delayed at the Federal level.
Those who think this spells the demise of E-Verify might want to read this last blog post on the E-Verify issue, where I explain my reasons for believing it is going to happen eventually, one way or another. Further delay, while annoying (I think we'd all like the administration to get off the fence about it) doesn't entice me to change my position.
Meanwhile, E-Verify makes continued progress at county and state levels of government. South Carolina joins the ranks of states that will require E-verify, and the news is sprinkled with reports of E-Verify requirements from places like Oakland County, Michigan or the City of Dallas. And in a new twist, reports are starting to come in that businesses advertising their use of E-Verify are getting a marketing and sales boost, based perhaps out of some "buy American" sentiment among their consumer base.
I was hoping we'd be able to move on from the existential E-Verify questions at the end of this month, but apparently that may not be the case. That said, best to ignore those who claim that the additional delay means E-Verify won't survive. Fortune favors the prepared, and the best thing you can do is make sure your business is prepared to comply with the ruling if, and when, it goes live.

Rumors of E-Verify's Demise Just That -- Despite More Delay

Because E-Verify really--WORKS--and is efficient, we must understand why it is delayed, weakened or even killed? The free traders, open border cartels don't like it. It cuts into their enormous profits of using cheap labor? The corporate world, the giant agricultural consortium's, don't want pay for for the schooling, health care or the undisclosed benefits that illegal aliens tap into---that's the responsibility of --YOU--the taxpayer? How dare you decide that employers should pay for anything at all? Except for a minimum wage if illegal laborers are lucky? Why should they pay their share, when it can be off-loaded onto the gullible American.
ReplyDeleteIf we are forced into another AMNESTY, then the consequences will be on a financial cataclysmic scale. Not only will our taxes spiral up, but we can expect millions of family members to follow on, under the family reunification act. Once here the senile, handicapped can tap into our overwhelmed social security, that will hurt senior citizens and our broken health care system. But that is just the start?
Millions of more impoverished, uneducated who have been patiently waiting just across the border, will pour into America looking for a third amnesty and more welfare handouts. We have seen the crash of the great state of California, with their lawmakers scrambling for an answer to a 47 billion dollar deficit that has been partly caused by it's Sanctuary State policies. Our own children are held to ransom in overcrowded classrooms, where the second language is English. Let foreign governments educate their children, not the American taxpayer. Hold these Democrats feet to the fire in hopes of keeping their job? Sen. Reid, Speaker Pelosi, Sen. Feinstein, Napolitano and all the involved in dropping E-Verify, and undoubtedly using it as a pawn to pass another taxpayers nightmare AMNESTY? It's carefully placed ruse to lower American wages for the free movement of cheap labor in our nation.
OVERPOPULATION will be our future, with all the environmental concerns that are minimal now. But will accelerates to a massive overload of traffic congestion, pollution and shortages of everything including energy and drinking water.
We must demand the use of E-verify, that will send illegal labor packing. All employers must receive mandatory prison sentences, for they are the parasites that attract cheap labor. Illegal Immigration effects everybody, your taxes, your jobs, your language, your culture, your moral integrity, your religion. YOU CAN MAKE AN IMMENSE DIFFERENCE?
