The system Congress and the Obama administration want employers to use to help curb illegal immigration is failing to catch more than half of the unauthorized workers it checks, a research company has found.
The online tool E-Verify, now used voluntarily by employers, wrongly clears illegal workers about 54 percent of the time, according to Westat, a research company that evaluated the system for the Homeland Security Department. E-Verify missed so many illegal workers mainly because it can't detect identity fraud, Westat said."
Clearly, it means it's not doing its No. 1 job well enough," said Marc Rosenblum, a researcher at the Migration Policy Institute, a nonpartisan Washington think tank.

Building hundreds of millions worth of fence is a huge waste. Does this program have problems? Yes. Can they be fixed, more than likely. Ask any penetentiary officer; people will find away around or through walls and fences.
Somebody type in BHO's name in there and see what comes up!
Not as many as will just stroll across the open border, 9:56 (as I'm sure a smart person like you would realize.)
Build the fence.
Their all toting backpacks full of drugs over now because there is no work. Just saw they caught 40 today...
12:30 lock them out of the labor market and there will be no need for the vast majority of them to stroll over.
Lock them out of the labor market if you can... that would help a lot. So would some laws against giving welfare/assistance to illegals.
Some will still use them, because they're cheap and don't complain.
And, for what it's worth, they're much better workers than many of our fellow citizens.
