‘E-Verify’ is a system which identifies the Social Security Number of an applicant and describes his or her eligibility towards working in the US. It cross checks information provided by fresh workers against the database of Social Security Administration and Homeland Security. But according to a recent report, the system failed to identify more than 50% of the undocumented workers. It cleared out almost 54% of illegal workers, courtesy its inability to ascertain frauds, reported Westat. On the contrary, the system clearly identified 93% legal employees, the report confirmed.

Contrary to this report, the earlier ones didn’t elaborate on the number of undocumented workers who fooled E-Verify. Sen. Chuck Schumer commented that the failure of the E-Verify clearly depicts that it is not an adequate tool. It is a wake up call for all those people who think that “E-Verify” is a critical system to stop the recruitment of illegal workers who are alleged to use stolen identities.

The original post depicts that the system is CORRECT, but only HALF of the times! This in itself shows that mock has been played on the accuracy of E-Verify system! The summary also elaborated that though not perfect, it is effective than I-9 paper, which is used to identify illegal workers.

As a result, an “anti-immigrant identity fraud system” has been created to identify facets related to undocumented workers, confirmed Bill Wright, from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.

The report calls for a need for a highly advanced security system that would scrutinize immigrants to their core and help in stopping Illegal Immigration!
