If he hires only 9, they could work on a Loudon contract and the employer would not be in violation of the above certification. Applicable language: (3)(A) Any person who, during any 12-month period, knowingly hires for employment at least 10 individuals with actual knowledge that the individuals are aliens described in subparagraph (B) shall be fined under title 18 or imprisoned for not more than 5 years, or both. What is needed is a contractual provision requiring all government contractors to certify that they use E-Verify to insure that their entire workforce (not just those working on government contracts) is comprised of legal residents. The State and localities have an interest in insuring that their citizens' tax money is being trickled down only to legal residents, therefore such a contractual provision would be constitutional. Anything less is just pissing in the wind, and should be scoffed at as such. The problem is that the IRCA (8 USC 1324a) is violated only if the employer knowingly hires 10 or more illegals.
