USCIS ANNOUNCES MEASURES DESIGNED TO ENHANCE E-VERIFY
From DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano:
These initiatives include a new agreement with the Department of Justice that will streamline the adjudication process in cases of E-Verify misuse and discrimination; an informational telephone hotline for employees to provide a more timely, effective and seamless customer experience for workers seeking E-Verify information; and new training videos focusing on E-Verify procedures and policies, employee rights and employer responsibilities in English and Spanish.
“E-Verify is a smart , simple and effective tool that helps employers across the country maintain a legal workforce,” said Secretary Napolitano. “The initiatives announced today will provide essential information to workers about their rights and ensure that E-Verify is used fairly while bolstering the Department's efforts to protect critical employment opportunities.”
These changes are welcome, but they still don't address the fundamental problem with E-Verify - it's lack of accuracy and ineffective procedures when innocent workers are caught up in a false positive situation.
