TOP ICE OFFICIAL: E-VERIFY STILL HAS PROBLEMS
John Morton, assistant secretary for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the Department of Homeland Security, talked about E-Verify on Tuesday:
Morton defended E-Verify, saying that it instantly confirms 97 percent of queries. But he acknowledged that the 3 percent rejection rate, in addition to the detection of unauthorized workers, could signal problems with the system.
“There are a lot of people who are abundantly aware of the criticisms,” Morton said. “They are trying to address them. There is a commitment to getting E-Verify right. We think E-Verify, while recognizing it has some issues, is a good working model.”
