There is no plan to make it a "mandatory" system for all employers. I think it is important that we make E-Verify available to folks and that we make the system as effective as possible.

BTW, if your account is true...do you know WHY the error occurred? Did your friend submit the wrong info (aka a 'typo')? If the false rejection was b/c of HIS error...then maybe he should be sued but if the error was the woman's (like she mis-wrote the info) then she ought to STHU. And REMEMBER, this is about making E-Verify available NOT REQUIRED FEDERALLY. If it is NOT re-authorized then employers will NOT even have the option available. For the sake of argument Pete S., I'll for now take you at your word in your comments but I submit the following:

It ended up that she was ok, but since he needed someone right away, he gave the position to another person. She now has lawyers and is trying to sue him for $500K. Uh-oh.

We have to take back our country... preferably by peaceful means but if need be by force.
