ACLU Letter to Senate Urging Opposition to Sessions E-Verify Amendment to the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009

On behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), a nonpartisan organization with over a half million activists and members and 53 affiliates nationwide, we write to express our opposition to an amendment offered by Senator Jeff Sessions (R-AL) which would expand the deeply flawed employment-verification program, known as “E-Verify”. Senate Amendment 165 (SA 165) would require any entity that accepts stimulus funds to participate in E-Verify.
