New FAIR Study: States Using E-Verify Now Lead the Way in Economic Recovery

The universal protections of E-Verify are long overdue. They would greatly reduce the pull factors for illegal immigration
and would take immediate pressure off of Americaโ€™s embattled southernย border.

(March 2, 2017 – Washington, D.C.) – States that require the use of E-Verify are leading the way in recovery efforts following the worst economic downturn since the great depression, according to a new study released by the Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR). The study can be found here

โ€œE-Verify ensures that only authorized workers gain employment opportunities in the states where itโ€™s being used,โ€ said FAIRโ€™s President Dan Stein. โ€œAs a result, American jobs are going to authorized workers, many of whom had abandoned their job hunt altogether and had given up hope of ever again finding employment,โ€ he said.

E-Verify is a system that allows employers to electronically authenticate the legal work eligibility of prospective applicants. First created by Congress in 1996, the optional program has a 99.7 percent accuracy rate, and has been adopted as mandatory by a number of states.

The study examines 14 states that have created or expanded E-Verify laws since 2009, and found that almost all of the states experienced a drop in unemployment rates as a result, even while the national average increased. Perhaps more impressively, 12 out of the 15 states that passed new E-Verify measures experienced a drop in unemployment greater than the national average. Furthermore, states making E-Verify mandatory experienced the most pronounced decreases in unemployment rates.

โ€œThe universal protections of E-Verify are long overdue. They would greatly reduce the pull factors for illegal immigration and would take immediate pressure off of Americaโ€™s embattled southern border,โ€ said Stein.

The researchers used the U-6 unemployment โ€“ which includes job seekers who have stopped searching for employment altogether or have settled on part time work โ€“ as the benchmark representation for those who are genuinely unemployed.

โ€œMaking E-Verify mandatory across the nation would open the door of opportunity to many of Americaโ€™s most disadvantaged workers who have been systematically pushed out of the workforce by widespread illegal immigration,โ€ said Stein.
