This is a good process.
BUT! Where is the enforcement to follow? I bet E-Verify will finally be mandatory for every single employer.
The Republicans would NEVER support this unless it has very strong, enforceable work verification mechanism.
It's a start though. The President is saying: here I am, here are my "guidelines" now it's your turn Republicans and Democrats
