ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION

Bills target builders' 'illegal work force'

The state House approves 2 measures to require contractors to verify employees' personal information against a database.

Some Pennsylvania employers could be asked to take extra steps to make sure they aren't employing illegal immigrants, if some lawmakers get their way.
The state House overwhelmingly approved two proposals that would require contractors to verify that their employees are legally authorized to work in the state.
One bill would require any contractor doing business with the state to use the federal E-Verify system, which checks an employee's personal information against Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security databases. A separate bill would require private construction companies to use E-Verify.
"These bills target contractors who cheat -- who use and abuse a cheap, illegal work force for profit," said Rep. John Galloway, D-Bucks County, the sponsor of the bills. "These bills stand up for decent, hardworking Pennsylvanians who play by the rules and are begging for our help."
The measures cleared the House 188-6. The legislation heads to the state Senate, where officials said the state budget, pension reform and transportation funding are the priorities.
Frank Sirianni, president of the Pennsylvania State Building and Construction Trades Council, said the proposal is crucial to remedying the unemployment rate in the construction industry, which he put at 35 percent.
"There's nothing wrong with someone coming into our country as an immigrant. ... Everyone wants the American dream, and I can understand that," Sirianni said. "The problem is, people are breaking the rules and putting the people that have done the right thing out of work."
Galloway said the federal government and 14 states require contractors to use E-Verify.
State Rep. Will Gabig, R-Carlisle, raised concerns that workers who are identified as illegal immigrants and fired will wind up on the rolls of the state's social services.
"I want to support the maker of this bill, but I want to say that this bill is going to have an impact on our economy," Gabig said. "If we just take [illegal workers] out of the private sector and put them more into welfare and unemployment, have we done anything to it really?"
Illegal immigration has become a hot topic nationally as well as in Pennsylvania since Arizona enacted a law aimed at cracking down on illegal immigrants. The Arizona law requires police to ask about immigration status if there is cause to believe someone is in the country illegally.
In May, state Rep. Daryl Metcalfe, R-Butler County, introduced a bill that mimics the Arizona law. It is before a House panel. State Sen. Daylin Leach, D-Delaware County, has proposed a bill that maintains that immigration is a federal issue, not the responsibility of Pennsylvania.
Some groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union of Pennsylvania, question the accuracy and security of the data contained in the E-Verify system.
Andy Hoover, legislative director for the organization, pointed to a study by Westat, a research company that evaluated E-Verify for the Department of Homeland Security. The study found the system failed to catch illegal workers more than half the time.
The December 2009 study found that E-Verify could not identify most types of identity fraud; it could determine only if the personal data match valid records in the databases.
In a memo to state lawmakers, Hoover said mandating the use of E-Verify "poses unacceptable risks to the privacy rights of the commonwealth's workers" because the electronic databases are not immune from hackers and could expose hundreds of millions of records in the Social Security database.
"This should send a chill down the spine of anyone who has a Social Security number," Hoover said.
