WASHINGTON -- A system that lets employers check whether newly hired workers are in the country legally has won a three-year extension from Congress.
In addition to renewing the controversial voluntary program, Congress voted Tuesday to approve $137 million for it over three years as part of a $43 billion spending bill for the Homeland Security Department. The bill now heads to the White House, where President Barack Obama is expected to sign it into law soon.
