HOW MANY AMERICANS WILL GET FALSELY CAUGHT IN E-VERIFY?

I've made this point before and usually the antis come out screaming that I'm making things up and E-Verify is perfect. But you've been warned.

Incidentally, I am not against continuing E-Verify. But I certainly want a system set up where a worker protesting the findings will have the right to continue working until the matter is resolved once and for all. Same for no match letters under the new rule. And for those who think I'm wrong regarding the protection of workers, the worker is only protected until DHS issues a final non-confirmation. But this is hardly adequate. An American worker should entitled to make his or her case in front of an independent judge. For those who think unlawfully present immigrants will take advantage, common sense says that someone illegally in the US is hardly likely to put themselves in such obvious jeopardy of detection and deportation.

LPR2 - Have you ever tried to resolve a problem in the SSA database?

[LPR2]

That's just silly. Were the guy in the article run through E-Verify he might get a TNC. He'd then go to SSA during the 8-day period and ask that the problem be corrected. SSA would correct their database and that would be that. He's protected from dismissal on account of the TNC for as long as it takes SSA and/or DHS to resolve the TNC, be it 2 days or 2 years. By the way, some of us have not forgotten the poor understanding of E-Verify-related law and procedure you demonstrated earlier this year when you refused to believe employers were not allowed to dismiss employees with TNCs that were not resolved within 8 days. That certainly impacts your credibility on this issue.
