Mollie Tibbetts case: What is E-verify?
What to know about e-verify and what it has to do with the Mollie Tibbetts case.
Amid the controversies brought on by deportations, caged kids and political posturing, one crucial aspect of our immigration system often goes without sufficient scrutiny: E-Verify.
E-Verify is a system intended to authorize an individual’s legal right to work in the United States. The online database is supposed to verify the authenticity of the documents provided by an employee to an employer. While the system mostly works as it’s supposed to, critics say it often fails in its most fundamental goal: keeping undocumented people from gaining legal employment.
Critics of the system on both sides of the partisan aisle say E-Verify has unavoidable flaws and can cause harm to small businesses, the economy and immigrants.
