H.R. 5515. that prevents unauthorized employment. It will replace the expiring pilot program. EVerify. that is run by the Department of Homeland Security. The Department of Homeland Security has no business keeping tabs on work records of lawabiding American citizens. I strongly reject the Orwellian premise that a government agency tasked with catching terrorists should also maintain a huge database on the work history of every single American. Our bipartisan bill ensures that U.S. citizens go through Social Security to confirm their legal right to work. and noncitizens go through the Department of Homeland Security. I urge you to cosponsor H.R. 5515. to create a new work authorization system that will help reduce illegal immigration. preserve the rights and privacy of lawabiding citizens. and protect Social Security.
