Border Security and Legal Workforce Verification Act

To strengthen national security, uphold the rule of law, and protect American workers, this bill shall authorize targeted increases in U.S. Customs and Border Protection personnel and surveillance technology at high-traffic sectors of the southern border; require the phased nationwide use of E-Verify for new hires with safe-harbor protections for employers acting in good faith; increase penalties for knowing and repeated unlawful employment practices, document fraud, and human smuggling tied to unauthorized labor schemes; and provide limited grant support to states and local communities facing significant fiscal strain from federal immigration enforcement shortfalls, with regular reporting to Congress on implementation, costs, and workforce impacts.
