Legislation has been introduced to expand the use of the federal e-verify system which assists employers in assuring that their workers are not unauthorized immigrants and therefore working illegally in the U.S. The E-Verify system is maintained by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and informs employers if a current or prospective employee has legal authorization to work in the country in coordination with I-9 documents. According to DHS, the system gave 42.4 million people the green light to work in 2025 and rejected 945,340 people.
