New Minn. Audit To Rate Federal Immigration Checks

ST. PAUL (AP) ― Minnesotans will get a report card Wednesday on the performance of the federal electronic system used by employers to check employees' immigration status.

Legislative Auditor James Nobles will release an audit of E-Verify, the system that compares identifying information provided on employment forms with Homeland Security and Social Security Administration records.

Nobles is looking at the accuracy, effectiveness and costs to Minnesota employers.

Gov. Tim Pawlenty ordered all state agencies to use E-Verify starting in early 2008. His directive also applies to some contractors with state contracts and companies that get state business incentives.
