It does this: it
clarifies. It amends 162(e) of the Code, and it clarifies that wages
and benefits paid to illegals are not tax deductible for Federal income
tax purposes. It gives the employer safe harbor if he uses E-Verify to
verify his employees. In other words, if you hire people, you have got people on your
payroll, you run them through E-Verify. We know all about this program. The Judiciary Committee passed a mandatory E-Verify bill out of the
committee here a couple of weeks ago. But you run them through E-
Verify. If you are the employer and they have qualified to be legal to
work in the United States through the E-Verify program, then the IRS
cannot touch you with regard to hiring illegals. So it is a safe harbor
that we build into the bill. So tax, wages, and benefits paid to employers are not tax deductible. The employer gets safe harbor if he uses E-Verify. We also require the IRS to exchange information and build a working
committee with the Social Security Administration and the Department of
Homeland Security so that the right hand, the left hand, and the middle
hand know what each other is doing. This is the Federal Government, after all.
