Angelo Paparelli Quoted in The Wall Street Journal
"White House Holds Off on Tightening Immigration Checks"

Angello Paparelli was quoted in the January 30, 2009 online issue of The Wall Street Journal in the article, "White House Holds Off on Tightening Immigration Checks." The article discussed how the Obama administration postponed the implementation of the E-Verify system by 90 days. The E-Verify system would require federal contractors to ensure that their employees are legally authorized to work in the U.S. This program was pushed by President George W. Bush in an attempt to tighten immigration enforcement. According to the article, the postponement occurred in order to permit the new administration an adequate opportunity to review the rule. Angelo remarked, "Although embraced by many in federal and state government, E-Verify is technically on life support."
