Feds miss 99% of illegals
Illegals have little to worry about if they are concerned about getting deported or denied work in America.
The Federal government program to identify illegals so as to deny them employment is horrible.
Only 184,000 of the nation's 7 million to 8 million employers attempted to use the program. That works out to about 2.5% attempted while the effectiveness was about half of that which leaves a ball park effectiveness of about 1.25%.
It has to be less than 1.25% of illegals are identified by the Federal government program because some illegals do not try to work for various reasons including having anchor babies.
Americans do not demand the Federal government to do more. Americans are passive and inattentive to politics. Bad politics makes bad economics.

Report: E-Verify misses half of illegal workers
Westat's report, completed in December 2009 using data from the previous year, was quietly posted on Homeland Security's Web site Jan. 28 along with a summary that pointed out E-Verify is accurate "almost half of the time."
"While not perfect, it is important to note that E-Verify is much more effective" than the I-9 paper forms used by most employers, the summary said.
Rosenblum, who has studied E-Verify, said Westat's evaluation shows it doesn't make sense to substantially expand and invest in E-Verify without fixing the identity theft problem.
Bill Wright, a spokesman for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said the agency, part of the Homeland Security Department, has created an anti-immigrant identity fraud unit in Buffalo, N.Y., to address the issue.
The agency is developing a way for people to screen themselves through E-Verify so they can show potential employers they can legally work.
About 184,000 of the nation's 7 million to 8 million employers are using E-Verify, the Homeland Security Department says on its Web site.
Congress gave DHS about $100 million to spend on E-Verify in its 2010 budget.
