Wow, what incredible progress (sarcasm). Using 338 miles to shore up a 2000 mile border is like using a colander to hold water :)
Sign-ups for E-Verify are increasing at a faster rate, although when you look at 85,000 employers signed up, versus over 7 million employers, that isn't saying much.
Still every little bit helps.
DHS Touts Workforce Verification
According to an analysis by research firm Westat, automatic verification of an individual's work authorization status occurs 94.2 percent of the time with E-Verify. Of the remainder, 0.5 percent of those with an initial mismatch resolve it successfully, leaving 5.3 percent as unauthorized workers.
"By the way, 90 percent of mismatches are folks who choose not to contest their mismatch. So really, the system works," Ratliff declared.

Good article Bussm1.
Still CA legislature won't listen. Maybe I'll send it to Arnold.
