Immigrant Verification System Flawed, Critics Say

Immigrant Verification System Flawed, Critics Say

Jennifer Ludden, NPR, Nov. 8, 2007: "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."
