		<description><![CDATA[The DHS Office of Immigration Statistics report “Immigration Enforcement Actions: 2009” is a must read for those interested in immigration enforcement. The report sheds an interesting light on the federal government’s argument against portions of Arizona law, S.B. 1070, and it also contains some positive long-term metrics that demonstrate the sustained work of law enforcement in this area. The American public’s view that the government does not have a long-term commitment to enforcement has been one of the biggest stumbling blocks to immigration reform. But results demonstrate some progress and a bipartisan commitment.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security’s continued commitment to E-Verify is apparent from the new E-Verify re-design, which will be launching on Sunday, June 12, 2010. The new re-design is a huge improvement in terms of the look and feel of the E-Verify program, giving users enhanced security, accuracy and efficiency. Unfortunately, the new system still does not address the most pressing need of many employers – an ability to address prevalent identity theft and false claims of U.S. citizenship. Regardless, the system should be a welcome improvement for employers. The enhanced tools and information also demonstrate the broader DHS commitment to enhance the E-Verify system. This commitment is a positive sign that the government is serious about helping employers successfully determine employment verification.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Here is a piece I wrote for The Daily Caller about effective immigration reform - Like many Americans, I believe that the current system has failed and, in my view, reform is essential. In looking to reform this system, we must make it easier for those who wish to come to our country legally to become productive members of society, and make removal more certain for those who choose to come here illegally.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Department of Homeland Security's new focus seems to target well-intentioned employers and neglect the rest.  In tough economic times, DHS should focus on ensuring a level playing field for honest businesses, and regulating unscrupulous firms who use illegal workers to cut costs and gain a competitive advantage.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Absent an identity tool tied to E-Verify, employers have been left to serve as document detectives.  Senator Schumer’s suggestion for a biometric employment card doesn’t sound all that different than enhanced security goals hoped to be achieved by Real ID.  Regrettably this identity solution received a major blow in the past few weeks when the Administration announced that it was retreating from Real ID's implementation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[E-Verify is a critical tool for employers who want to prevent hiring unauthorized workers.  And yet, employers who voluntarily sign up for E-Verify often wonder what happens to the information that they provide to the E-Verify system, and whether their activities are subject to additional scrutiny because of their participation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Over the next two days, Secretary Napolitano will testify before four different congressional committees to discuss the Department of Homeland Security’s proposed budget for 2010.  Given the budget implications on worksite enforcement and the Department’s issuance of new worksite guidelines, the appropriations and authorizing committees should have no shortage of questions. However, if any member is looking for questions, here are just a few that I would propose.]]></description>

With this information, the aliens could get drivers licenses, credit, and, of course, jobs. ]]></description>
