I feel like E-Verify is a prime example of how badly the U.S. government is handling illegal immigration. This is an electronic, federal government database system that confirms an employee is legally authorized to work. What sounds easy and straightforward is actually an extremely unreliable, frustrating system.
Here are the possible outcomes when using E-Verify:

1.) A worker’s eligibility is confirmed and they get the job!
2.) The system cannot yet confirm or deny an employee’s eligibility, in which case it is considered “tentative/non-confirmed.” The employee must then report to federal government offices to review their papers within eight days. If for any reason the employee does not show within the eight days, they are issued a “final non-confirmation” which forbids them to work at that job.
3.) Identity theft- extremely simple in this case, and will result in an eligible person to be deemed ineligible. Identity theft is not the only way the E-Verify system can screw up, being that it is new and not yet 100% reliable; it has its’ mess-ups every so often. Which is too often for something that is being considered made mandatory in all places of work.

Not to mention the fact that E- Verify is an extremely costly program; there is no way the U.S. can afford to invest in something that has already been labeled unreliable by the few employers that use the system. Point blank.
