Once you accept an offer of employment and complete Form I-9, the employer takes the information from your Form I-9 and enters it into E-Verify. E-Verify compares your information against records available to DHS and SSA and provides the employer with a case result within 3 to 5 seconds.

[@wolfgangk1]

What's more fair? Just play by the rules.

[@porscheoscar]

which is why Texas and Florida were the only 2 southern states to refuse to adopt e-verify, they are HEAVILY dependent on undocumented in all aspects of their economy. Arizona tried this in 2009 and quickly regretted as they became the only border economy that actually SHRANK in GDP during the 2009-2012 recovery. Alabama also tried this and also shrank their economy. But neither of those two states are anywhere near as dependent on undocumented workers as the Florida agricultral industries and Florida hotel & restaurants. That's basically 2 of their 3 largest industries immediately gutted. Florida have over one million tourists coming wanting clean hotel rooms and packed restaurants are bursting with post covid tourists ready for the first no covid summer season. What an epic disaster this will be. And on the construction side the timing could not have been worse as well. Hurrican season has basically caused all of the insurance companies who haven't fled Florida to start requiring home owners replace their roofs to meet the new hurricane standards or they'll be dropped from their policies or face massive increases until all homes are up to code in Florida. Otherwise the insurance companies are taking on huge downside risks for their investors. That's NOT going to work. This new roof requirement will cause a giant surge of of demand for roofers at PRECISELY the moment when the state has the fewest number of roofing workers available in 20 years thanks to this law. And for thos who aren't aware, Florida is in the middle of a massive rental shortage for new apartments and condos. Those developers are now facing felony charges or let their projects sit stalled until they figure out what they can do. They'll find the workers but their profit margins will evaporate or they have to drastically increase the selling prices which buyers have ZERO apetite for now at 7% hsitorically rates. New inventories are already piling up before this and they cant let those unsold properties sit on their books for 60 or 90 days or they violate the investor agreements. This idiotic law may well trigger the housing crash. Won't be long before Trump seizes on all this Tweeting out #RecallRon

[@dawnp1968]

Lets set one thing straight - this is not an anti-immigration law at all, it is a way to ensure employers are hiring those authorized to legally work in the U.S. which helps Americans in many ways including making more jobs available AND most importantly reduces identity theft by those who will steal your information and sell it to others who will work under someone elses name, drive. take out loans and credit often leaving the victim of the identity theft unaware until they get a major bill or are denied credit because of this. Verifying someone is who they say they are, that they are here lawfully, that they are allowed to work in the U.S. legally is not Anti-Immigration it is simply good hiring practices.

@@kelliejones2300 The Jobs that immagrants do is harder work, its things that most people will not do, even citizens. Immigrants are a fundamental part of a economy bc they do jobs that nobody else wants to do. They get paid little, and they can't get any aid, even if they pay taxes the hole time they been here. Immigrants buy products, food they work for a living they can't stop. You remove does people and there will be a lack of labor bc companies will not pay someone more, when they paid less.

This is the LAW that the Latino truckers are boycotting about: ----- The law requires employers with 25 or more employees to use an E-verify system, hospitals accepting Medicaid must ask patients if they are U.S. citizens and report it to the governor, and it invalidates out-of-state driver’s licenses to “unauthorized immigrants" ---- Where is the problem? I'm confused unless they'd prefer: The law NOT requires employers with 25 or more employees to use an E-verify system, hospitals accepting Medicaid cannot ask patients if they are U.S. citizens, and accept out-of-state driver’s licenses to “unauthorized(illegal) immigrants" ----- Those truckers' loyalties are obviously not to this country---and that theme will further the collapse of America.

A good time for legal citizens to get into trucking. More business for legal citizens in the trucking business. With AI and machines crops can be picked and maintained. Its not total chaos for the supply chain and agriculture industries. They say they are already struggling to survive - maybe they’ll illegally immigrate from here to another country “seeking asylum” like they did when they abandoned their countries of origin, since struggling to survive was their reason for leaving there.
