Immigration Enforcement Could Open Up Jobs For Unemployed U.S. Workers, Speakers Say
Beck recommended that lawmakers let temporary visas run out for the workers already in the United States so that "workers, tourists and students go home as they promised" and those jobs could then be filled by U.S. workers. In addition, he suggested the introduction of legislation to suspend the issuance of as many permanent work visas as possible during the recession. In addition, Beck advocated letting employers run their entire workforce, not just new hires, through E-Verify, the federal government's electronic employment verification program. Beck also favors making E-Verify a mandatory program for all employers.
