SERRANO and my fellow Members. it seeks to say that if you are doing business with the Federal Government. if you are a contractor building something or selling something to the Federal Government. then you should have a Social Security verification for your employees. This was Inspired by two things: Number one. the fact that the American people have spoken. They do not want comprehensive immigration reform. They spoke so loudly and so well that even the United States Senate eventually heard their voices. Now. weve heard their voices in the House and we have passed lots of immigration reform measures. such as fences. such as the REAL ID Act. some other things that we have put on all the bills on a bipartisan basis. What this says. though. Is that if youre the contractor building the fence on the border. as we have had a real case. then you have to make sure that you have legal immigrants. legal people. working for you. Thats all it is. There are a lot of people who sell to the Federal Government in the school lunch program. There are a lot of people who work for the defense. a lot of people who work for these agencies. a lot of just different contractors who may have Illegal aliens working for them on a Federal Government job. and the only thing that this does is says that those contractors have to be involved in the basic pilot program. which is a program in which technology enables these employers to check Social Security numbers for authenticity within about 90 seconds. Its very simple. its very clear. I hope that the gentleman will accept it.
