    This part of the article is incorrect:

    "Even then, the system has some fundamental flaws; it can’t, for example, detect borrowed or stolen Social Security numbers.

    In 2009, an independent review of E-Verify for the Department of Homeland Security estimated that 54% of workers approved by the system to work were in the country without authorization."

    If you stole someones identity, i.e. name, DOB, SSN you would pass e-verify. But you would not be able to cash a check without a forged ID. Virtually all aliens either make up a Social Security Number (SSN) or use a real number belonging to someone else and use their own name and DOB. These do not pass E-Verify. I checked the review and could not find the 54% using a search query.

    Most errors tend to be on the other side for example people who got married but forgot to get a new Social Security card.

    Which is about as long as it would have taken YF, if he really wanted the information and was not trying to divert from the subject at hand.

    Hey, at least he didn't ask for a police report this time.

    Exactly. Be careful what you wish for. The next one may be much worse, and he may find his road paved by the nuclear option.

    But .. but .... but. None of those happened since he became POTUS. So they don't count.
    He has matured.
    He's a baby Christian growing in his faith.
    Come on. Give the guy a break.
    And dozens of other pathetic apologist statements to come.

    This, plus SNL. Those shows just assume they'll get laughs by opposing things, rather than being original or clever.

    TBS seems like a broke AD with failing coaches and will just keep riding the same horses. But I have to think the audience that sticks with Samantha Bee at this point will be quite small.

    Every time I think this administration can't be any more scary or reckless, it continues to lower the bar.

    Trump lives in an alternative universe. And it's going to end up getting people killed because of his lying and his fragile ego.
