But this is a very. very good tool. To add to this. I am hopeful that and do expect that we will see USCIS link to EVerify the digital photographs of those who are here working on a green card and those kind of cases. If we are able to do that. then we can verify that the face of the individual who presents the documents actually matches the documents of the individual. That is another improvement that comes along hopefully administratively. Additionally. I will add to this that I am extra invested in EVerify. because I have introduced legislation and will reintroduce It again this week that is called the New IDEA Act. That lets the IRS come Into this mix. deny Federal deductibility for wages and benefits paid to illegals. gives safe harbor to employers that use EVerify. and now It puts together the team and requires the IRS to communicate with the Social Security Administration and communicate with the Department of Homeland Security. We have the tools to do this. We can work and cooperate and coordinate together with our different departments of government in the same fashion that a company would work and cooperate and coordinate with their different departments of their company. We are not doing that yet. We are taking a step in the right direction. and I am very glad to hear the bipartisan support that we have for EVerify. I again congratulate KEN CALVERT for a work in progress. well started. not yet well done. I urge adoption of this. and I appreciate the extension and the reauthorization.
