Florida Governor Issues Executive Order Requiring E-Verify

Moments after taking office last Tuesday, Florida Republican Governor Rick Scott signed Executive Order 11-02, requiring all state agencies to use E-Verify to determine the employment eligibility of state employees, contractors and subcontractors. (Gov. Rick Scott Press Release, Jan. 5, 2011) Governor Scott’s Executive Order is an important step towards fulfilling a campaign promise he made to “require all Florida employers to use the free E-Verify system to ensure that their workers are legal.” (Rick Scott for Governor Campaign Website, Sept. 8, 2010)
E-Verify is an online-based system that allows employers to compare the information employees provide when hired with Homeland Security and Social Security Administration records. (USCIS Website, Jan. 5, 2011) Authorized by the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA), E-Verify has been key in helping businesses comply with a federal law prohibiting employers from hiring illegal aliens. (USCIS Website, Jan. 5, 2011) Federal contractors and subcontractors have been required to use E-Verify since Sept. 8, 2009, and more than 225,000 employers across the United States use E-Verify, with about 1,000 new businesses signing up each week. (USCIS Press Release, Jan. 5, 2011; USCIS Website, Jan. 5, 2011)
Governor Scott’s Executive Order comes at a time when pro-amnesty politicians and the open-borders lobby continue their attempts to prevent states aiding in worksite enforcement. Just last Wednesday, Rhode Island Democratic Governor Lincoln Chafee repealed his Republican predecessor’s Executive Order requiring that Rhode Island state departments (and its vendors) use E-Verify to check the legal status of new employees. (The Boston Globe, Jan. 5, 2011) And in 2007, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce sued city attorneys in Arizona over its mandatory E-Verify law—known as H.B. 2779—which requires that all state employers (public and private) confirm that employees are eligible to work through the E-Verify system. (See FAIR’s Legislative Update, Dec. 13, 2010) Oral arguments in the case (Chamber of Commerce of the U.S. v. Whiting) were heard in the U.S. Supreme Court just last month. The Court is expected to issue its ruling on the constitutionality of Arizona’s mandatory state E-Verify law this spring. (Id.)

Source please?????

I counted 10 sources in that story and there may be more are you kidding?Look at all the notation of every quote and remark of nearly ever paragraph.

Lucky NEVA hasn't kicked in yet. I wonder if it's still in the works. It would require Biometrics...
Worse and more intrusive than e-verify

This is for the Federal law?

I sometimes think youre a troll, it says GOVERNOR, just state of Florida. Reading is a powerful tool.

And is only for the state employees. Which implies an interesting question: state of Florida was hiring illegals during previous governors' terms so Rick Scott decided to put an end to it? I don't see that those few republicans on this forum are raging

You hit upon a critical point.

No, Florida was not hiring undocumented immigrants to fill state agencies.

Rick Scott executed this order so as to pander to his base. This is what republicans, and most politicians do. They solve nonexistent problems, and the masses, who are stupid, think something has changed.

However, Scott will be able to claim in 4 years when he is running for reelection that he curbed illegal immigration in the state.

Yes. I know that but they also have one for Federal.

Then why would a Governor be doing signing a federal law, so mind boggled right now. The President signs the executive orders/laws.
