Sam
Johnson on Illegal
Immigration
 We
must secure our borders and finish the fence!
We
must protect our sovereignty once and for all by gaining
control of our porous borders. I support the border fence and
have co-sponsored the Fence by Date Certain Act.
Opposing
perks for illegal immigrants and fighting blanket amnesty
Why on earth should illegal immigrants be able to collect Social
Security, receive in-state tuition benefits, and vote in elections?
I am a strong opponent of these ideas and I believe that
hard-working American taxpayers deserve better.
I also oppose rewarding illegal immigrants who have broken American
laws by offering blanket amnesty and believe we should make English
the official language of this nation.
Create
an efficient and effective worker verification system
As
the author of the New Employer Verification Act (NEVA, H.R. 5515),
I am confident that this legislation is the key to fighting
illegal immigration by creating an efficient and effective
worker verification system.
NEVA builds on the successes and amends the short-comings of the
current E-verify system, which is a pilot program. NEVA mandates
all employers to check worker's eligibility and does so more efficiently
than our current, inefficient paper-based I-9 system. NEVA makes
employers part of the solution to illegal immigration by utilizing
the New Hire Reporting System presently used
by 90% of employers which helps track down deadbeat dads.
Information is routed simultaneously to both E-Verify
and to the New Hire system so that work authorization can be determined
instantly by the proper agencies. It also protects Americans from
identity theft by an additional worker identity authentication
component which is a clear weak-link in the current E-Verify pilot
program.
