WASHINGTON, D.C. — Some Texans on Capitol hill are behind the push for a big crackdown on businesses that hire illegal immigrants. East Texas Republican Congressman Louie Gohmert is among those pushing for employers to have to use the e-verify system. He says cutting off the magnet of jobs is key to stopping illegal immigration. But Norman Adams with Texans for Sensible Immigration Policy says all the e-verify system will do is force more illegal immigrants to do work for cash under the table.
