KEPHART: E-Verify ambush

Moving Forward with E-Verify Program to Check Legal Status Already 99.5% Accurate WASHINGTON (September 18, 2008) – The E-Verify program, which allows employers to check the immigration status of new employees, has been steadily improving and is now 99.5 percent accurate, according to a new paper by the Center for Immigration Studies. This voluntary program is already screening more than one in ten new hires nationwide, and as of September 13, 2008, has processed 6.21 million queries. The report is available online at http://www.cis.org. Among the findings: • As of the first half of FY 2007, only one-half of one percent of eligible employees screened had to take additional steps to obtain work authorization; overall, the system is 99.5% accurate. • More than 93 percent of employees are verified within five seconds; another 1.2 percent are verified within 24 hours. A new Photo Screening Tool and a streamlined procedure for naturalized citizens to receive authorization are increasing accuracy and efficiency for employers and employees; naturalized citizens no longer need to take remedial action at Social Security. • About 5 percent of new employees are not confirmed as work authorized, mirroring the same percentage of illegal aliens estimated to be in the labor force. • When E-Verify became web-based later in 2004, 1,533 employers had signed up. As of September 13, 2008, there are 85,816 employers representing over 446,000 sites and over 6.21 million queries processed. Currently, about 1,000 new employers join per week. • Eleven states require use of E-Verify in certain circumstances (AZ, CO, GA, ID, MN, MO, MS, NC, OK, RI, and UT).

....OUR MATH PROBLEM FOR TODAY.... Including the 4 to 5 million non-immigrants (illegals) who have overstayed their visas, and remain in our United States (source: Pew Hispanic Center) HOW MANY ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS ARE REALLY IN OUR UNITED STATES TAKING JOBS THAT RIGHTFULLY BELONG TO AMERICANS??? FACTS: SOUTHWEST BORDER APPREHENSIONS (source; DHS/CBP) 1999 1,537,000 2000 1,643,679 2001 1,235,718 2002 929,809 2003 905,065 2004 1,139,282 2005 1,189,108 2006 1,071,972 2007 858,638 2008 660,288 (ends 9/30) FACT: Over 11 million illegals have been apprehended, at the border, in just the last ten years..... FACT: Even now, less than 1, out of 4, illegals, are apprehended while crossing the border. How many illegals entered our United States between 1999 and 2008???? From 1987 to 1998, there was less enforcement at our Southwest Border, and illegals could cross even more easily. How many illegals entered our country between 1987 and 1998???

"Robert Menendez, New Jersey Democrat, has a hold on E-Verify" This man is a traitor to the U.S. and is a complete Racist pushing a Latino Only agenda against the Citizens (All RACES) of the United States. The Voters of New Jersey should be ashamed of themselves for Electing such a hater of American Citizens and our Laws. On the other the criminals (illegal Aliens) and Owners of the Big Business love him for providing them with cheap slave labor.

save the E-Verify system for keeping illegal aliens out of U.S. jobs. Sen. Sessions made a valiant attempt to carry the ball over the line last Thursday night, but "Sen. Menendez" blocked him and made it clear that he has every intent to kill E-Verify this week and throw more Americans to the streets so more Foreign workers can take your jobs. We need help from each one of you TODAY -- especially to pick up the phone and call your two Senators. 202-224-3121 This is the real deal -- a political crisis that will be resolved happily or explode on US Citizens by this weekend. Congress leaves town the end of this week and won't return until after November elections (probably not until January). If the Senate doesn't pass a bill to reauthorize E-Verify this week, the whole system will be forced to close down the first of November. (AS A REMINDER: E-Verify is the central tool for taking away the job magnet from illegal immigration. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce wants to kill it so outlaw businesses will have more freedom to hire illegal workers. E-Verify is the on-line system that businesses can type into for each new hire and find out if they are an illegal alien.) www.NumbersUSA.com

If the government is going to hold people accountable for violations of the Immigration acts, then the government is providing the Chamber of Commerce with ways to protect their accountability. Somehow I think the Chamber of Commerce is losing its under the table cheap labor capability and they want it back. This is a problem for Congress, leave the agency alone.
