Wow. @NPRJoel reports on what it means that E-Verify is down due to the shutdown. It lets employers check if a job candidate is in the US illegally. One lawyer says the US had an “electronic wall” against illegal immigration and took it down.

Biggest single difference between the House Democrats of 2019 and those of 2009 is that the former don't have the power to do anything other than investigate and resist Trump. It's a pretty low-risk undertaking, politically. https://t.co/QOdrvrlEt9
