Audit reveals that E-Verify deemed up to 3.5 million LEGAL workers ineligible to work

Forbes just reported that the nationwide E-verify mandate has resulted in a faulty preliminary determination that up to 3.5 million LEGAL workers were ineligible to accept employment.  The mandate employs a "guilty-until-proven-innocent approach" for workers that are flagged by the system. 

Forbes reports that there were 770,000 erroneous final non-confirmations, which resulted in the employer being required to fire the employee.  The article also cites a 2009 report that reveals that half of all of the employees that were NOT flagged by E-verify were working without authorization, and "slipped through" the system.
