Summary

Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that: (1) the use of a basic pilot program (E-verify program) by employers of workers within the United States should be mandatory and that enforcement policies should hold both employers and employees responsible for violations; (2) sustaining the necessary border infrastructure and manpower to secure U.S. borders to prevent the unauthorized passage of persons or contraband is a critical responsibility of the federal government; and (3) immigration reform should not legalize, grant amnesty for, or confer any other legal status condoning the unlawful U.S. entry or presence of any individual.
