Social Security rarely uses E-Verify
By Stephen Dinan
The Washington Times, January 18, 2010

[snips]Despite helping run the government’s electronic database designed to weed out illegal-immigrant workers, Social Security failed to run E-Verify
checks on its own employees nearly 20 percent of the time.
An audit by the Social Security Administration’s inspector general says the agency outright failed to check 19 percent of its hires in 2008 and 2009, and of the checks it did run, nearly half of them weren’t performed
in a timely manner.
It’s all the more embarrassing because the agency, along with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, runs E-Verify, the tool the government expects to become mandatory for all U.S. businesses.
The audit said Social Security hired 9,311 people in 2008 and 2009 but failed to run E-Verify checks on 1,767 of them.
Of the others, the agency ran E-Verify checks on 1,874 people too early, in violation of the terms of use. Those terms also specify that employers must begin the E-Verify check within three days of the date they hire
someone. Social Security ran checks on another 1,784 hires after three days.
Of the 19 percent of names that were never checked at all, the audit said, 44 of them should have been flagged as potential problems.
The Obama and Bush administrations pushed E-Verify as a key component to helping businesses hire legal workers.
All federal agencies are required to check their new hires against the system. As of September, federal contractors also are required to check new employees. Some states have gone so far as to require all businesses
to check new employees.
A mandatory verification system is almost certain to be a part of any immigration bill enacted in Congress, and the penalties for failure to use the system are likely to be severe.
‘When this happens in the government sector, well, the upshot is an IG report. But in the private sector, you’re talking about investigations and penalties,’ Mr. Harper said.

Nice catch AuntB. Another day, same ole, same ole...
This whole E-Verify thing is a stalling tactic. IMO, we will never face and fix the problem of our nation being severely negatively impacted by illegal immigrants.
We’ll lose our nation to this problem IMO. In about 25 years, we will no longer have self-determination here.
Hispanics have self-determination in a number of nations. We are slowing destroying our place on planet earth.
Scratch that. It should read, quickly destroying...
"Thus they gain two permanent indentured constituencies: one a claque of armed bureaucrats to do their bidding and the other to inflict a crime spree upon their enemy, an independent the middle class."
We have another winner!!!!!

P.S. the murder rate in Dallas is the lowest since 1964 or 1967.
Of course, better trama/medical procedures, and longer incarceration rates helps, the bottom line is ... an armed society is a safer society!
