What should be the city of Plano's role in assuring no illegal immigrants work in the city?

Members of the North Texas Tea Party say the city should try and keep illegal immigrants out of the city's workforce and that they have a simple solution to bring that to reality.

"Our goal is for the city to use whatever mechanisms are business-friendly to encourage or 'incentivize' the use of E-Verify in Plano," said Michael Openshaw of the North Texas Tea Party. "E-Verify is a very good system that is fairly efficient and is not overly intrusive. Applicants already fill out I-9 forms, and E-Verify uses that info. All the system does is validate the info on the I-9 form."
