CATO'S E-VERIFY DEBATE WITH DHS ENTERS ROUND 2

This is getting good. The Department of Homeland Security issued another defense of E-Verify saying that the system has the capacity to handle a massive increase in the number of employers. The Cato Institute's Jim Harper pokes holes in the argument noting that it's not the technical capacity to handle the data that's the problem, but the massive manpower and money that will be required to resolve errors. That should be the really scary part of E-Verify for most Americans. If you're unfortunate enough to be incorrectly identified as not legally present in the US, are you really confident that you won't be rendered unemployable for an extended period of time while the folks at DHS and the Social Security Administration solve the problem. I just have one thing to say - "We're from the goverment and we're here to help."
