Saw an AP article on today's Arizona Republic website, quoting a research firm hired by Homeland Security, saying that E-Verify "wrongly clears illegal workers 54% of the time". The problem is that the system cannot detect identity fraud.
That tracks with our experience; it would seem that if one submits a name that matches the SS#, it doesn't much matter how many full time jobs or current credit histories that name and number are currently holding down around the country...
That's why we do a credit check, based on SS#; we can at least see who-all is using the name and number, and maybe figure out if the person we're looking at is at least the primary user of ;that SS#. Also, in addition to checking driving license and record, we have our back-grounding firm compare the photo on the applicant's license with the photo the State has on file, thus detecting the occasional high end fake license (we provide janitorial service in Phoenix AZ).
Don't really have anything against illegals, but it's remarkably hard to run a background check (court records, etc.) if you cannot establish the real identity of the applicant.
A bit about us:
My firm, CBN Building Maintenance, provides commercial cleaning services in Phoenix AZ and the wider metro area. We've been in business since 1974; hold the BBB's A-plus rating; and have long been in the forefront of the industry in environmentally sensitive cleaning for health, safety and security. Our program can generally improve Indoor Air Quality, in the size range of most allergens, by a factor of 50%, as reflected in our ongoing IAQ sampling.
ANY EXCUSE TO DEMONIZE E-VERIFY TO TRASH IT.
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. In addition the future could hold databases from the FBI, perhaps even the US Census Bureau and other state and local data. 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.
