From the Immigration Policy Center:
E-Verify and Arizona: A Rough Road Ahead for Employers, Employees, and the Economy
Immigration OnPoint: Facts at Your Fingertips for Frequently Asked Immigration Questions
On January 1, 2008 the Legal Arizona Workers Act went into effect, which requires all employers in the state to enroll in and use the E-Verify system to verify the employment eligibility of all new hires. While not yet fully implemented in Arizona, E-Verify is already showing significant signs of trouble - including its negative impact on Arizona workers and employers, as well as the state's economy. This week, Immigration OnPoint highlights Arizona's experience with E-Verify and suggests Congress should heed the warning signals as they contemplate a national EEVS.
E-Verify and Arizona: Early Experiences for Employers, Employees, and the Economy Portend a Rough Road Ahead (Immigration Policy Center - May 2008) - This fact sheet covers the experiences of Arizona's employers and employees with E-Verify, and early signals of its impact on the state's economy

Comments
The fact is that Social Security data bases have errors, and the only way those data bases will ever be corrected is when people who have corrupt data are confronted with the problem. Whether it's due to notices through employers at time of application for employment, or when a citizen retires, it still must be done. Why not do it when the employee is relatively young, than wait until his entire contribution is mingled with an imposter? Your alternative is the unacceptable status quo. You have no solutions, just criticism.
