Illegal Border Crossings Today:

Thank Gov. Haslam for Strengthening E-Verify in Tennessee

FAIR Action Alert
Congratulations! Because of your hard work Governor Haslam approved Senate Bill 1965 (SB 1965) with its companion House Bill 1830 (HB 1830) last week!SB 1965/HB 1830 amends and strengthens Tennessee’s E-Verify law by: increasing the number of employers required to use E-Verify for ALL employers with 50 or more employees, adds a $500 civil penalty for each day of noncompliance, and eliminates a loophole that previously allowed employers to avoid using E-Verify as long as they retained certain copies of employee documentation.Call Governor Haslam today and tell him THANK YOU for signing SB 1965/ HB 1830 and promoting good public policy because:
  • E-Verify protects American workers. Native-born Americans compete with illegal aliens for the same jobs, and are increasingly disadvantaged because employers have access to a steady supply of low-wage foreign workers.
  • E-Verify prevents the depression of earnings that results from employers paying illegal aliens sub-standard wages.Illegal immigration has a disproportional impact on poor Americans. Because a large proportion of illegal aliens are low-skilled workers, they are more likely to compete with and undercut the wages of low-skill native-born workers.
  • E-Verify helps employers comply with federal law. E-Verify provides a fast, free, and effective way for an employer to verify that all new hires are authorized to work in the United States as required by federal law.
  • E-Verify reduces job-related identity theft. E-Verify stops 100% of all SSN only, job-related identity theft because full name, SSN, date of birth, gender and photographic identification must match.
  • E-Verify fights illegal immigration. Mandatory E-Verify use will discourage illegal immigration to Tennessee by eliminating the attraction for illegal aliens to come to the state to find jobs. Illegal immigration already costs Tennessee taxpayers over $547 million each year.
