U.S. said helpless in hiring of aliens

The Washington Times

The federal government is not capable of helping employers determine whether workers in the U.S. are illegal aliens, a government official will testify before a Senate subcommittee this afternoon.

Richard M. Stana, director of homeland security and justice for the Government Accountability Office, said that two decades after Congress ordered the government to create a program to prevent the hiring of illegals, such a program still doesn't exist.

Immigration specialists have "found that the single most important step that could be taken to reduce unlawful immigration is the development of a more effective system for verifying work authorization," Mr. Stana said in prepared testimony obtained by The Washington Times.
