As reported at the DailyRecord.com, Department of Homeland Security Secretary, Janet Napolitano, has stated that she supports the E-Verify program and would like to see it extended beyond its current expiration date of September 30, 2009. Napolitano also remarked that the Obama administration has not yet taken a position on whether to require all U.S. employers to use E-Verify.
During her interview with Gannett Washington Bureau, Napolitano referred to her experience with E-Verify while she was governor of Arizona. Napolitano stated:
Some of the arguments that are made about how [E-Verify] works or does not work don’t carry much water with me. I’ve already used it for several years. It works.
