E-Verify

               The art of making money is simple; bring in more money than is being spent. The companies that can do this the most efficiently are the ones that will succeed and the ones that fail will go bankrupt and out of business. How companies make money is their secret, whether it is a great new product, or amazing service, or unprecedented convenience all successful business know how make money. Some companies however, don’t play by the rules and do illegal things to increase their profits. Hiring illegal immigrants is one of those illegal things. Companies will hire illegal immigrants because they will work for dirt cheap and they will work hard to keep their horrible job. By doing this, businesses can undercut their prices and run their competition out of town. Up until recently this has been a problem that has plagued the business world for a long time. Finally, a new weapon has come around that can finally stop business from hiring illegal immigrants, or at least catch them when they do it and that weapon is E-Verify.

               E-Verify is an Internet-based system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. E-Verify is fast, free and easy to use and it’s the best way employers can ensure a legal workforce. According to E-Verify, more than 288,000 employers, large and small, across the United States have used E-Verify to check the employment eligibility of their employees, with about 1,200 new businesses signing up each week. While participation in E-Verify is voluntary for most businesses, some companies may be required by state law or federal regulation to use E-Verify.  For example, most employers in Arizona and Mississippi are required to use E-Verify. E-Verify is also mandatory for employers with federal contracts or subcontracts that contain the Federal Acquisition Regulation E-Verify clause.

               E-Verify is a valuable tool that should be required throughout the nation to ensure that business play by the rules and don’t hire illegal immigrants because not only does it keep the playing field level for other business, it also keeps the illegal immigrants from being taken advantage of. These immigrants usually don’t know how valuable they are to a business and the hard work they put in for $5 an hour would be valued at much more if they just tried to gain citizenship. By making brininess’s switch to E-Verify we can ensure that business play by the rules and nobody gets taken advantage of.
