Mandating E-Verify Nationwide Would Build An Electronic Wall To Curb Illegal Immigration

President Trump tweeted Sunday that he “would be willing to shut down government†at the end of September if Congress doesn’t get serious about border security.
In the tweet—and in a follow-up tweet Monday—the president renewed his call for faster funding of a border wall but curiously made no mention of another border security measure that arguably would be as effective as the wall at curbing illegal immigration.
That would be mandating the use by all employers of E-Verify, the federal database to confirm that their workers are in the country legally.

Since congress is more interested in creating problems than solving them so as to justify their existence, they will never pass e-verify. Or if they do, it will be so riddled with loop holes it will be totally ineffective. 888mouth

How about if they actually just enforce the Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 mandated I-9's and follow up with employers?

All well and good, but...
NOTHING is going to "curb illegal immigration" as effectively as an impenetrable wall running the length of the U.S. border.
That's why the opposition to it is so intense.
