Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands the E-3 visa program to South Korean nationals (a worker-visa change outside the immigration-enforcement topic) but adds a new requirement that their employers must participate in E-Verify, which expands the scope of immigration enforcement via employment verification. No other listed topics are substantively addressed.
