Requires all employers to use E-Verify to check if workers are legally allowed to work.
The problem
Employers currently have different rules about checking worker eligibility. Some use E-Verify, others don't. This creates inconsistent enforcement of immigration laws.
The proposal
Makes E-Verify permanent and mandatory for all employers nationwide. All companies must verify every employee's legal work status through this system.
The impact
Employers must follow new rules. Workers need proper documents. Undocumented immigrants may face detection. Job applicants experience verification delays.
All employers would follow the same rules, creating equal standards everywhere. This prevents some businesses from competing unfairly by hiring workers without proper verification.
Mandatory E-Verify could make it harder for people without work authorization to get jobs. This may protect job opportunities for citizens and legal workers.
E-Verify verification ensures workers are legally employed and entitled to labor protections. This could reduce exploitation of vulnerable workers.
E-Verify already exists and operates across the country. Making it mandatory uses an existing system rather than creating something new.
Every employer must implement E-Verify, which costs time and money. Small businesses with limited resources may struggle more than large companies with compliance.
E-Verify sometimes makes mistakes and rejects eligible workers. Mandatory use could prevent legal workers from getting jobs due to system errors.
E-Verify requires sharing personal information with government databases. Mandatory use means all workers' information flows through federal systems.
Mandatory verification could push unauthorized workers toward fake documents. Criminal networks might expand document forgery operations.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
