GCIS INTELLIGENCE UPDATE:  The E-Verify program has gained steady adoption momentum among the nation’s employers, US Citizenship and Immigration Services Associate Director Theresa C. Bertucci told the House Committee on the Judiciary, Subcommittee on Immigration Policy and Enforcement last Thursday in a hearing titled "E-Verify: Preserving Jobs for American Workers".
 
 
“As of today, more than 246,000 employers are enrolled, representing more than 850,000 locations,” Bertucci declared.  “More than 1,300 new employers enroll each week and the number of employers enrolled in E-Verify has more than doubled each fiscal year since 2007.” The volume of queries per fiscal year has also increased dramatically, from 3.27 million in FY 2007 to 16.4 million in FY 2010, Bertucci added.
 
 In FY 2011 to date, employers have run more than 5.3 million queries.

Despite this significant growth, Bertucci cautioned that it “is important to put these numbers into context. There are approximately 7.7 million employers operating throughout our country, and the percentage of these employers that use E-Verify is just 11 percent.” (read full report)

GCIS/MSS INTELLIGENCE UPDATE: For the first time, a U.S. government supports granting a government role to an extremist Islamic organization: the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.

On Monday, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said Egypt's new government will have to include a "whole host of important non-secular actors." Most prominent among these is clearly the Muslim Brotherhood – which has made Islamic world domination one of its ultimate goals. It also opposes Egypt's 30-year-old peace treaty with Israel.

Gibbs said the Muslim Brotherhood must reject violence and recognize democratic goals for the U.S. to be comfortable with it assuming a role in the new government. This caveat does not significantly alter the new American approach, which is very different than that of the previous Administration, in which George W. Bush pushed Mubarak for democratic reforms but never publicly accepted a role for Islamists. (read full report)

In a separate report:

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Wednesday that if democracy prevails in Egypt then it will not pose a threat to peace with Israel.

"All those who value freedom are inspired by the calls for democratic reforms in Egypt," Netanyahu said during a speech to the Knesset. "An Egypt that will adopt these reforms will be a source of hope for the world. As much as the foundations for democracy are stronger, the foundations for peace are stronger."

The prime minister said that there is a risk that instability in Egypt could last for years, and called for "bolstering Israel's might" in response to the turmoil. (read full report)
