June 01, 2009 E-Verify Continues to Grow in Popularity "Why not do it?" replied Gerry Boren, the city manager of Gun Barrel City, when asked about the use of the E-Verify program to check if employees are authorized to work in the U.S. legally. According to this article in the Houston Chronicle, enrollment in the program has grown exponentially in recent years, with about 1,000 employers signing up each week for the free Web-based program. The 118,000 public, private and government employers enrolled in E-Verify includes companies such as Continental Airlines and the city of Dallas. Critics say there are good reasons not to use the program, arguing it can be burdensome, particularly for small employers.

State of Nevada Key to Amnesty Battle Nevada, tops in the nation in the percentage of illegal immigrants in the workforce, is home to two powerful senators on opposite sides of the immigration reform debate.

The impact of counting illegal aliens during the upcoming Census could have sizable ramifications for the electoral future of the United States.

CO Prosecutor Finds New Way to Identify Illegals Two judges have agreed with an ACLU complaint and ruled that Weld County District Attorney Ken Buck had no probable cause to seize thousands of records from an income tax preparer popular with Hispanics. The October seizures had led to identity-theft and criminal-impersonation charges against more than 70 people, and prosecutors allege that as many as 1,300 suspected illegal immigrants were working using false or stolen Social Security numbers. Mr. Buck is appealing the judges ruling, and should it be overturned it could open up a new avenue for prosecuting illegal immigrants. Read the full story from today's Washington Times.
