What the document says

“Congress should also permanently authorize E-Verify and make it mandatory.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 149

E-Verify is the federal system employers use to check whether a new hire may lawfully work in the United States. It is currently voluntary for most employers. The chapter asks Congress to make it permanent and mandatory, alongside narrowing who is statutorily eligible to work.

What the document actually says

“Congress should also permanently authorize E-Verify and make it mandatory.”

Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, p. 149
That sentence, in plain words

Congress should keep E-Verify for good. It should make every employer use it.

What this is about

Employers can check if a new hire may work here. The system is called E-Verify. Most do not have to use it. The book says all of them should.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to read this page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the book itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
