Will DHS Punish Employees Caught Up In E-Verify Disputes?

Immigration attorney Greg Siskind’s site and newsletter have been an invaluable resource on immigration issues, despite the fact that he and I often disagree.

The article linked below details concerns regarding an employer’s liability should the resolution of an E-Verify “tentative non-confirmation” take longer than eight days, the time period after which an employer is required to terminate a non-confirmed worker.

I found the DHS response to the attorney’s concerns interesting. Siskind argues that a “post-final nonconfirmation” appeal process would be appropriate, but it is apparent that the E-Verify program already goes to great lengths to protect eligible workers.
