Tuesday, April 23, 2024

"E-Verify is incredibly convenient to use, and thousands of Ohio businesses have already enrolled voluntarily," said Massa. "Employers simply log in to the online portal and input a few pieces of information from a newly hired employee's I-9 form, which they're already required to collect by federal law. The entire system is highly accurate -- and clears more than 98% of hires to work either instantly or within 24 hours."

Key Points: 
  • "This E-Verify bill would deter the record-breaking numbers of illegal aliens crossing the southern border from settling in Ohio," said James Massa, CEO of NumbersUSA.
  • "By shutting off the jobs magnet that draws migrants to seek illegal employment, this bill would protect Ohio's hard-working citizens and legal immigrants."
  • Business lobbyists are pressuring House Republicans to kill the E-Verify bill.
