The E-Verify Glass Is Half Full

An evaluation of the E-Verify program conducted about two years ago has just been released. (The 338-page pdf is here.) It estimates, among other things, that about half of illegal aliens who were screened between April and June 2008 managed to foil the system and get approved for employment, and opponents of immigration enforcement are tickled pink. Chuck Schumer, who is taking the lead on amnesty, said, “This is a wake-up call to anyone who thinks E-Verify is an effective remedy to stop the hiring of illegal immigrants.” Likewise, former Kennedy staffer Marc Rosenblum said, “Clearly it means it’s not doing its No. 1 job well enough.”http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NmEzMWRiODhkZmYyZjk4NTM1MjQ2ZWI3OWYyOWM5ZWUBy Mark Krikorian – National Review
