Later this year, the Supreme Court will hear a case related to an Arizona law that requires the use of E-Verify, the federal online employment eligibility verification system. The case, which will be held December 8, should clarify whether states have the right to mandate the use of such a program. Opponents of the Arizona law claim it infringes on the rights of individuals, while supporters of the law state that the state has the right to monitor and remove business licenses, because it is the entity that provides those licenses.
It is believed that the decision from the Supreme Court will hold weight in more than just the Arizona law that requires the use of E-Verify. It could also provide guidance for states seeking to implement other laws related to immigration enforcement. |
