Arizona Proves Social Security Number Verification Works

@ 03:24 PM (19 months, 7 days ago)

I've been very critical of Gov. Napolitano because I think she's a two-faced weasel. Especially considering how she tried to gut Prop 200 and has stiffled other attempts to tighten up laws concerning illegal aliens. BUT give credit where credit is due.

Arizona started checking the names and Social Security numbers of its employees in December after Gov. Janet Napolitano signed an executive order mandating the program.

Since then, every five weeks or so, the state Department of Administration has electronically sent the names and numbers of all 42,000 state employees through the Social Security Number Verification program.

So far, only 409 people have been kicked back as "no-matches." That's an average of about 40 a month. Alan Eckert, a department spokesman, said the number has gone down each time.

Those 409 "no-matches" do not mean that Arizona was employing people here illegally. The most common reason for a "no-match" is an employee getting married and still having her maiden name on file with Social Security. Or using a middle name as his or her first name.

  1. So what do you think of Len Munsil?

  2. Welcome aboard. You're my first poster.

    I don't know much about Munsil other than he beat Goldwater in the primary. But I do know a little about Napolitano. There's no doubt there's some serious political game playing going on but I'm very glad they were able to get some of those measures on the ballot that Napolitano vetoed. Let the people decide.

  3. As long as what the people decide isn't struck down by some left wing judge.
