Recent reports prove the E-Verify system is still not ready for prime-time. It has systemic failures that expose small businesses to severe penalties, even when the business follows the law.

The current system punishes small businesses with fines and debarment from government procurement, even when the E-Verify system fails.

But E-Verify isn't the only thing that has failed. Our leaders in Washington, D.C. have failed to provide comprehensive immigration reform that seals our border, preventing the flood of illegal immigrants that make these extra burdens on America's small businesses necessary.

I write you today to ask that you act to fix or repeal the E-Verify system until it is reliable. I ask that you relieve the pressure that illegal immigrants are placing on government by sealing our borders. And, I am asking that you oppose biometric identification cards that impose further burdens on small business and violate the civil liberties of Americans.
