Illegal Immigrant Supporters Target E-Verify Program
"Forcing U.S. companies to use a government system to verify the legal 
status of employees would result in hundreds of thousands of citizens and legal residents being initially rejected for work, critics said Tuesday. Immigrant advocates, business groups and experts said that the system, known as E-Verify, relies on faulty databases that were never designed as immigration enforcement tools," the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports. "In Arizona, a law implemented in January requires all companies to run new employees through E-Verify. Under the law, companies that knowingly hire illegal immigrants are subject to various penalties, including losing their business licenses. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups have challenged the law, saying it is unconstitutional and interferes with federal immigration statutes. Using the Internet-based system, an employer can check immediately whether employees are in the United States legally by comparing their information to electronic government records."

From the article "said that 92 percent of all queries are approved in less than five seconds. Of the remaining 8 percent, the vast majority are not contested"
And if you were in the country legally, wouldn't you want to know if something was wrong in your records so you can get it straightened out?
THAT`S A BUNCH OF B.S.!
THESE PRO-ILLEGAL ALIEN GROUPS, AND GREEDY BIG BUSINESS, ADDICTED TO CHEAP ILLEGAL LABOR, WILL LOOK FOR ANY REASON NOT TO ENFORCE OUR IMMIGRATION LAWS.
The errors in the system are precisely the ones that the no-match letters are intended to rectify: failures to report name changes, fraudulent use of identity, and such. Errors by SS personnel can be and I presume are checked internally against records provided by the employers and the like.
Interesting, isn't it, that they claim the harm is to US citizens, when by their own reckoning, as many as five million of the mismatches (30 percent) are due to fraudulent use of the SSN. Use which the SS doesn't report to holders of the number and which they may well not find out until the IRS contacts them or they're denied SS benefits.
If it’s all the same to you immigrant supporters out there, I’d rather speak for myself. I don’t mind one wit if I am erroneously flagged by the e-verify system, as I am sure that any error can and will be rectified in a timely manner.
If the equivalent of a small cut inflicted on me will help to heal the tens of millions of gunshot wounds that this country is suffering from, bring it on. I have a whole box of band-aids ready to roll.
OPEN BORDER NUT LOGIC
If you disagree with me flooding America with overpopulation and slave wages; the argument against the American voters is: its always unworkable, unfeasible and I besides, I'm the rich elite, I don't need to prove you pitiful lowlife American voters are always wrong.
Will the madness ever end? Illegal aliens are driving down wages and taking the jobs of American citizens. The greedy corporations have no regard for anything but money!
at least they got an ally in the white house as well as those presidential candidates
On of the things that is undoubtably pissing off the illegals and their employers is that the Arizona "expierement" is working all of the bugs out of the system. It is also proof that it works.
