Today Congressman Ken Calvert (R-CA) introduced an amendment to the Homeland Security Appropriations Bill during the full committee mark up to extend E-Verify for ten years. E-Verify, the only tool available to employers to voluntarily check the work status of new employees, is set to expire November 30, 2008.

"E-Verify is used by over 70,000 employers, the members of this committee represent over 59,000 employers who are using E-Verify and 22 of the members here are co-sponsors of bi-partisan legislation to make E-Verify mandatory," stated Rep. Calvert at the mark up.
