Jeff Sessions, US Senator (R-AL), in remarks made on the Senate floor on Apr. 1, 2014, available at sessions.senate.gov, stated:

“E-Verify works by checking data against records maintained by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration. It is quick and easy…

According to a January 2013 USCIS Customer Satisfaction Survey, E-Verify received an 86 out of 100 in the American Customer Satisfaction Index Scale. That is 19 points higher than the customer satisfaction rating for the overall federal government…

E-Verify has been proven to deter employers from hiring illegal workers and will help to put Americans back on the payrolls. A number of states have already enacted E-Verify laws with great results…

Our goal must be to help struggling Americans move from dependency to independence, to help them find good and steady jobs with rising pay. Making E-Verify permanent and requiring all employers to use it is one simple thing that we can do to work towards that goal.”
