There are currently 154 million people in the US workforce. If everyone one of them was checked with E-verify today, there would be 790,000 initial non-confirmations, mostly due to the social security admin having the wrong data, which also means you are not getting credit for your social security taxes paid. A simple visit will fix this, your employer rechecks and you are confirmed.... 42670@http://www.washingtonwatch.com Tue, 16 Sep 2008 11:52:55 EDT http://www.washingtonwatch.com/bills/show/110_HR_6633.html#41540 Even if this program is 99.5% effective, as some in the media have claimed, that would still result in over 7 1/2 million people being either granted or denied work incorrectly. I'd sure hate to be one of the millions of people who are flagged as "illegal" incorrectly. Imagine having that perfect job filled by some other applicant, while you spend who-knows-how-long trying to untangle a federal bureaucratic blunder.
