It appears that the E-Verify program is here to stay – at least until 2012. Last Thursday, the House of Representatives passed the $44.1 billion Department of Homeland Security budget for fiscal year 2010 (HR 2892). Funding for E-Verify was set to run out at the end of this month, but the 307-114 vote extends funding for E-Verify through September 2012. The budget is expected to pass the Senate this week and will then be passed on to the President for signature.
