Update: E-verify deadline moved to September 2009
The deadline for federal contractors and subcontractors to begin using the E-Verify system has once again been delayed –- this time to June 30.
The rule requiring federal contractors and subcontractors to agree to electronically verify the employment eligibility of their employees went into effect in January, but the applicability date of the final rule has been delayed three times: It originally was to take effect on January 15, then it was delayed to February 20, then to May 21, and now the latest delay pushes the date out six more weeks to June 30.
The latest extension provides the administration “an adequate opportunity to review the entire rule prior to its applicability to federal contractors and subcontractors,” according to a statement from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service.
The effort to require contractors to use E-Verify has drawn opposition from the start from employers who don’t trust the system to provide accurate information on whether employees are authorized to work in the United States. Several business groups, including the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, filed a lawsuit on December 23, 2008, seeking to have the E-Verify regulations ruled unconstitutional. That lawsuit is pending.
“We applaud the administration’s decision to take more time to re-evaluate its questionable policy mandating E-Verify use for federal contractors,” Robin Conrad, executive vice president of the National Chamber Litigation Center, said following announcement of the latest implementation delay. “We are hopeful that they will agree that E-Verify is the wrong solution at the wrong time.”

You will never get a true accounting from our government, politicians or the national press, on what illegal aliens are costing US taxpayers? It spirals into hundreds of billions of dollars. All we get in many cases is demonstrations demanding rights, foreign flag waving and a unceasing amount of criminal activity nationwide. Many do come here to work and some pay taxes, but not enough to cover the extraordinary costs applied to free medical care, education, housing and a whole host of undisclosed government handouts. Through a large loophole in IRS tax regulation Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC). An obscene amount of money is returned to low income workers, states financial analyst and economist Edwin Rubinstein in his book. In 2007, more than 23 million households received more than $47 billion in the EITC payments. Much of the so-called “tax relief” goes to people who never paid a cent in taxes. Pariah employers should be paying for all these services, but instead are extracted from taxpayers exhausted wallets and purses. It’s equally absurd and disgraceful when Americans needing social help and denied under current laws.
Now the Obama administration is opening a can of worms by pushing for another AMNESTY. If the 1986 Immigration and Control Act had been rigidly enforced, instead of being intentionally ignored or just downright dropped, we would not be in this organized chaos caused by the K street lobbyists? Now the the Democratic hierarchy is running rampant, looking to appease minorities—we can expect the worst? With disgraceful legislators like Sen. Harry Reid, Speaker Nancy Pelosi that snuffed E-Verify, ostracized the real ID act, the regular police detainment 247(g) program. Anything that contradicts their open border agenda, it’s dead mostly in the Senate chambers. There is to much information to unfold in commenting, so go to these sites: VDARE, FAIRUS, JUDICIALWATCH, NUMBERSUSA, AMERICANPATROL, CAPSWEB & ALIPAC. The stakes are sky high– because Amnesty means, access of millions to more welfare for the uneducated, low income newcomers. In conclusion–WE ALL KNOW MILLIONS MORE WILL COME, LOOKING FOR A THIRD AMNESTY?
