Mr. Chairman, in response to the gentleman's
comments, I am not at all convinced that it is needless. The reports
that I am getting are that E-Verify has not been adequately enforced,
especially at the contractor and subcontractor level. This is Congress reminding those who consume Federal dollars and
Federal contracting under this T-HUD appropriations bill that they
shall comply with the law that was referenced by the gentleman. I don't
know why it would be divisive, if it is Federal law, and needless,
supposedly. Let's go ahead and pass this and remind those that follow Federal law
and this debate won't happen next year. Mr. Chairman, I urge adoption of this amendment, the E-Verify
amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time.
