AUSTIN, Texas -- Governor Rick Perry announced on Wednesday an executive
order requiring all Texas state agencies to use "E-Verify" to check the
employment eligibility of current and prospective employees. The
announcement was a reversal of his past public comments on the issue.
E-Verify is an online system that allows employers to search a government
database to determine if their employees are eligible to work in the United
States. Currently, seventeen Texas agencies already use E-Verify. Perry's
executive order will expand the system to require it for "all state agencies
under control of the Governor’s Office and all those with whom they enter
into contracts for services to determine the work eligibility of employees
and subcontractors."
Four years ago, facing a primary challenge from Senator Kay Bailey
Hutchinson, Perry had been dismissive of the E-Verify system, saying that it
would "not make a hill of beans’ difference when it comes to what’s
happening in America," according to the Quorum Report. According to
Wednesday's press release from Perry's office, there have been "improvements
to E-Verify that have streamlined the system and improved its accuracy."
The executive order specifies that "various necessary improvements have been
made" to the system that have resulted in a higher percentage of employees
being cleared as "work authorized" within 24 hours, fewer employees
erroneously being designated as "unauthorized workers," and a better ability
to successfully identify "unauthorized workers" and "prevent them from
entering the workforce."
Perry also called on Congress to "finally pass a bill that dedicates the
necessary resources to securing our border, once and for all," accusing the
federal government of allowing political posturing to overshadow the real
issue of border security. "Without border security, immigration reform is a
fruitless exercise," said Perry, adding that President Obama's recent
announcement of executive action granting amnesty to millions of illegal
immigrants was likely to increase the likelihood of future situations like
this summer's border crisis. | b*****d
