Executive Order is being used to circumvent Congress, Chamber says
WASHINGTON, DC—The U.S. Chamber of Commerce today challenged the legality of requiring federal contractors and sub-contractors to use the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) E-Verify system. Joining the U.S. Chamber as co-plaintiffs in the lawsuit are the Associated Builders and Contractors, the Society for Human Resources Management, the American Council on International Personnel, and the HR Policy Association.
“This massive expansion of E-Verify is not only bad policy, it’s unlawful,” said Robin Conrad, executive vice president of the National Chamber Litigation Center (NCLC), the Chamber’s public policy law firm. “The Administration can’t use an Executive Order to circumvent federal immigration and procurement laws. Federal law explicitly prohibits the secretary of Homeland Security from making E-Verify mandatory or from using it to re-authorize the existing workforce.”
The case, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland, is

It's unfortunate that groups such as these maggots call themselves Americans. They are as pathetically greedy and traitorous as the Alien Civil Liberties union. The law should be rewritten to allow us to deport these traitors.
