Washington, D.C.–(ENEWSPF)–September 15, 2011. Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith (R-TX) plans to mark up a bill that will make E-Verify, the government’s Internet-based system that verifies whether employees are authorized to work, mandatory for all employers in the United States. The Center for American Progress hosted a conference call yesterday to discuss Smith’s bill, the Legal Workforce Act (H.R. 2885). Participating in the call were leading experts and a U.S. citizen who lost her job because of E-Verify.
