I support a mandatory nationwide electronic verification system so we dont have a patchwork of conflicting State and local laws. Protecting Social Security is always the right thing to do. so as the ranking member on the Ways and Means Social Security Subcommittee. I am pleased the bill includes provisions that ensure Social Security and DHS agree on funding to support EVerify. However. I ask my colleagues. how long do we have to experiment with employment verification before Congress delivers a nationwide. mandatory. longterm solution that this country needs and the American people deserve? Last February. I. along with several of my Ways and Means colleagues. introduced the New Employment Verification Act. or NEVA. Representative GIFFORDS and I have been working together on this bill that builds on the success of EVerify while addressing its challenges. I hope everyone interested in this debate will take the opportunity to look at the information on this bill on my website. When it comes to immigration. the American people want. need and expect real solutions. and American employers need a first class system that helps them comply with the law.
