E-Verify fails to detect one out of two illegal workers whose employment authorizations are screened
From The Wall Street Journal:
The Department of Homeland Security's controversial and much-touted E-Verify program might be failing to detect one out of two illegal workers whose employment authorizations are screened, outside consultants have told the agency.
Tens of thousands of companies participate in E-Verify, either voluntarily or as a condition of doing business with the government.
The Internet-based program checks information provided by new hires against Social Security Administration and Homeland Security databases to confirm they are U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents of the country.
An evaluation of E-Verify carried out for DHS by research group Westat found the program couldn't confirm whether information workers were presenting was their own, and, as a result, "many unauthorized workers obtain employment by committing identity fraud that cannot be detected by E-Verify," Westat told the department. Westat put the "inaccuracy rate for unauthorized workers" at about 54%.
E-Verify has previously faced criticism for failing to authorize individuals who are permitted to work in the U.S.
E-Verify was stepped up under former President George W. Bush, and the administration of President Barack Obama has maintained support for the program, taking a tough immigration-enforcement stance designed in part to win support for a broader campaign to create a path to legal residency and citizenship for millions of illegal immigrants.

Of course there is going to be avenue's that illegal workers can use, to circumvent E-Verify. We--ALL--know, that E-Verify is not the perfect tool and foreign workers will slip through the net. That is why we need a thorough mandate, so that there is universal coverage, full funding to build on a 100 percent fool proof method of identifying unauthorized workers who are stealing jobs of Americans. As I have said before every immigration enforcement tool has been compromised, because the open border culprits have the money to buy our politicians. Don't matter what the THE PEOPLE think or their interests, they are intentionally overlooked by those who legislate in Washington. From its inception E-Verify has been bombarded with negative publicity, just has Health Care reform. Just as the police apprehension program 287(g) trained by ICE has been ordered to a lower level of immigration raids? Just as the No-match-letter has been rescinded, because its not in the interest of parasite businesses.
According to Westat, a research company that evaluated the system for the Homeland Security Department. E-Verify missed so many illegal workers mainly because it can't detect identity fraud. So What! It is not perfect, So illegal immigrants can escape detection? But Homeland Security has undertaken new innovations to the system, with photo recognition and the amalgamation of other tools that will minimize errors like this. While not in the immediate future add to the E-Verify databases, The IRS, US CENSUS Bureau, FBI and regional police. Then nobody in America could slip through the dragnet who has a job. Unless bloggers and others bring this too the attention of the American people, these new E-Verify tools will stay hidden from review. Americans have been programmed so long about illegal immigration, the majority tend to believe in the lies rather than the truth. Just like Washington when it talks about "uncompensated care", which in truth is citizens and legal residents are having money extorted from them to pay for anybody who walks into the emergency room without papers. The rest of us have to show our drivers license and social security card, so debt collectors can track us down?
Most states are broke from uncompensated mandates. When you are taxed to pay for the illegal immigrant invasion. Sen.Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi nearly robbed the American people of E-Verify funding, but I swore it would remain on the bloggers website. 15 million Americans and climbing have lost their jobs, but politicians like Sen.Harry Reid is still in collusion to the open border zealots We must pummel those in Washington, to let them know whose paying their salaries and exorbitant pensions. Call this number today 202-224-3121 and tell them as a voter you want a permanent E-Verify.
