A recent report from the Social Security Administration’s Office of the Inspector General found the impossible: 6.5 million people age 112 or older have active Social Security numbers. Author Joe Guzzardi contends that Congress must enact mandatory “E-Verify” to combat massive identity theft that facilitates evasion of the employer sanctions law enacted in 1986.
“The OIG report was predictable because immigration experts have known for years that individuals who enter the country illegally depend on identity theft, and with impunity. Neither employers who benefit from their cheap labor nor the federal government which has condoned open borders for five decades has lifted a finger to end the hoax.”
“…mandated E-Verify, the free, easy online program that employers can complete in just minutes, would help eliminate fraud and assure that employers hire either citizens or legal, work-authorized immigrants.”
“Earlier this month, the House Judiciary Committee passed the Legal Workforce Act that would, through a gradual phase-in process, compel employers to run their new hires through E-Verify. The Legal Workforce Act has a provision that would prevent Executive Branch efforts to derail it. If the federal government interferes with E-Verify’s implementation, states would be empowered to carry out the law.”
