E-Verify finds only one out of two illegals – Homeland Security Newswire
The U.S. government’s E-Verify program to detect illegal workers has an “inaccuracy rate” of about 54 percent, outside consultants have determined. An evaluation of E-Verify carried out for DHS by a Maryland firm found the program allows “many unauthorized workers” to obtain employment, the Wall Street Journal’s Louise Radofsky and Miriam Jordan writee that reported Thursday.
Westat of Rockville, Maryland, said E-Verify is not able to confirm whether information workers are presenting is their own. As a result, Westat says, “many unauthorized workers obtain employment by committing identity fraud that cannot be detected by E-Verify.”
