I have a co-worker who was born in the US to parents who were in the country illegally. She told me that there is a loophole in the E-verify system. Employers only verify that a social security number is a legitimate number issued by the US government. Employers DO NOT have to verify that the SS number submitted is the actual SS number issued to the person submitting it. There's the loophole. She told me her aunt, who was in the country illegally, used her SS number to get a job. Other relatives used numbers belonging to other people and then passed the number along to other people.
Has anyone heard of something like this happening? I don't know if this is true, but my co-worker has no reason to lie. She could potentially be getting her family into trouble....but not during the Obama administration!
