Employing Unauthorized Workers
By Tom Shoop | Thursday, August 23, 2007 | 01:19 PM

When it comes to cracking down on employers who hire illegal aliens, the federal government should clean up its own house first, says a House Republican. Rep. Peter King of California tells the Washington Times that a 2006 audit shows that seven federal agencies are among the largest employers of people with "non-work" Social Security numbers. These numbers were once used to qualify people for certain benefits programs, but not for work in the United States.

The Homeland Security and Commerce departments are writing regulations that would require federal contractors to use the E-Verify system to check employees' Social Security numbers to make sure they're actually eligible to work in this country, but agencies themselves aren't required to use the system.

1. I was changing channels and some guy on MSNBC

said "If they go after the federal government for hiring illegal aliens then they ought to start at the state and local level". Getting rid of all those people serving in the government could cause havoc he suggested.
