CATO V. DHS PART 3 - THE E-VERIFY DEBATE CONTINUES

DHS contends using E-Verify is simpler than ordering a book on Amazon.com.

Touche, Mr. Harper.

Thanks Tom. I found the third question to be the most interesting. Chertoff certainly didn't seem to be a ringing endorsement of 287g agreements with local police. The answer was more like - if you want to have one, that's not a problem for us. He could have said something like "DHS thinks these kinds of agreements are a critical part of our plan to enforce our nation's immigration laws and we encourage cities to look at establishing 287g programs."
