Rep. Alan Nunnelee, R-Miss., won inclusion in the Energy and Water Appropriation Bill requiring that all programs funded by the bill use the federal E-Verify program to identify illegal aliens seeking jobs.
Nunnelee said the provision would help ensure that Americans seeking employment aren’t displaced by undocumented non-citizens seeking work – a significant factor in virtually every state.
Mississippi, when Nunnelee was in the state Senate, passed a required E-Verify for all employers, including state government. The system, of course, is not perfect, but its use has proven to help all kinds of employers identify applicants who may not be legally employable.
