Mr. Speaker. on November 1. the Nations employment verification system. EVerify. is going to expire. EVerify is a broken employment verification system that has helped grow the number of illegal immigrants in America to over 12 million. We have got to find new solutions. Our bill. H.R. 5515. the New Employment Verification Act or NEVA. would replace the current paperbased and errorprone I9 process upon which EVerify is based with an electronic verification system. H.R. 5515 would use the existing new hire registry reporting process already used by over 90 percent of U.S. employers. This bill will create a national employment verification system for new hires thats reliable and efficient. With EVerify scheduled to expire this year. now is the time for the Congress to create a new way to move forward that prevents unauthorized employment. I urge my colleagues to cosponsor H.R. 5515.
