Brevard County Commissioner John Tobia is expanding his efforts to crack down on illegal immigrants, and now is targeting employers who hire workers who may be in this country illegally.
Tobia says he plans to propose legislation to require companies that have contracts with the county and receive county tax money for that work to be part of the "E-Verify" program.
E-Verify describes itself as "a web-based system that allows enrolled employers to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. E-Verify employers verify the identity and employment eligibility of newly hired employees by electronically matching information provided by employees on the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, against records available to the Social Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security."
