On the recordFebruary 13, 2009
E-Verify also provides the best opportunity to determine the best electronic means to implement verification requirements. The administration-- She is talking about the Obama administration-- should support reauthorization of E-Verify and expand the program. Alexander Aleinkoff, a Clinton administration official, called it a ``myth'' that there is ``little or no competition between undocumented workers and American workers.'' And I would say, I am disappointed. I am not surprised, I could see how this was headed for the last week or so. I hoped it was not so. I raised openly my concern with the majority leader and the bill managers that this would happen, and I am now seeing it happen. I yield the floor.
