NEW WHITE HOUSE E-VERIFY ORDER TO IMPACT MOST HEALTH CARE EMPLOYERS
Wow! All businesses with federal contracts are going to have to use E-Verify. That's a lot more businesses than most people realize. The vast majority of health care employers are subject since they take Medicare. All universities that participate in the federal student loan programs are government contractors. Every business that deals with the Department of Defense will need to comply. The list will be very, very long. The order contemplates that DHS will issue a rule before agencies will begin incorporating E-Verify in to federal contracts.
Chertoff is having a news conference this afternoon.
Here is a link to the actual executive order.

LEADING STATE 30 ADMINISTRATOR DIES
Carl Kulczyk, who for many years served as the head of the Iowa Conrad 30 J-1 program, has died. Kulczyk was a leader in shaping law and policy surrounding the program and was considered one of the leading Conrad 30 administrators in the country. He was also highly respected by the immigration bar and his views on physician immigration were often sought by legislators. He was warmly regarded by physicians and health care providers throughout Iowa as well as the thousands of Iowans who were able to get access to health care because of Carl's promoting of the state's J-1 program.
