NPR : Immigrant Verification System Flawed, Critics Say

Tagged:

“The immigration overhaul may have died in Congress earlier this year, but a growing number of businesses are adopting one part of it voluntarily. Some 30,000 businesses have now signed onto a federal computer program to check the legal status of new hires, and the Department of Homeland Security says 1,000 more are joining every week.

It’s an exponential increase for a system first known as “Basic Pilot.” But after running focus groups, DHS now calls it “E-Verify.” Critics say the program is rife with errors, and worry its fast expansion will lead to legitimate job applicants being wrongly denied jobs.”*
