- barry-cotter 8y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Verify https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E-Verify > Research shows that E-Verify harms the labor market outcomes of undocumented immigrants and improves the labor market outcomes of Mexican legal immigrants and U.S.-born Hispanics, but has no impact on labor market outcomes for non-Hispanic white Americans.[4] A 2016 study suggests that E-Verify reduces the number of undocumented immigrants in states that have mandated use of E-Verify for all employers, and further notes that the program may deter illegal immigration to the US in general.

Better verification would also cost far less than a wall, making it a less effective way to distribute pork.
