Homeland Insecurity
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I was channel-surfing last night when I came across the Lou Dobbs Show. He had a segment on the E-verify system, the government’s most effective program against illegal immigration.
It allows employers to check and see if workers are eligible to work in the United States. The program, according to Dobbs, has a 99 percent accuracy rate. Verification results from the Internet-based system are available in seconds.
Well, E-verify is set to expire.
Congress has stripped language from the stimulus package that would continue funding for the program. Monday night, Mr. Dobbs asked viewers to contact their representatives and tell them to save E-verify.
Now you know, if you didn’t already.
PEACE
