Year 6, Special Issue, 2011 E-Verify vs. Real Reform: What It Means for Immigrants, Their Communities and the U.S. Economy ELIZABETH O’C ONNOR * There is widespread consensus across the United States that the nation’s imm igration system is broken. However, a divisive and angry debate rages as to what to do. Some call for closed borders, building massive walls, and deportation of “those people” who come to take away jobs from Americans. Others call for humane reform, including total amnesty and the recognition of mobility as a human right. Most Americans find them - selves somewhere in the middle –descendents of immigrants (this author has ancestors from Ireland and Poland), sympathetic to those striving for a better life for their families, interested in new cultures, but fearful of the imp act on overburdened local schools, hospitals, social services, and jobs. The result is that no one is happy with the current system, including em- ploy ers, state officials, anti-immigrant forces, immigrant rights advocates , and immigrants themselves (Sherer, 2010).
