Mr. Speaker. there are lies. darn lies and statistics. Isnt that the joke? There have been a lot of figures thrown out here today. I think it is important to note that. according to the GAO. of the 7 million employers that are in the United States. less than 1 percent actually use EVerify. And the GAO also tells us. based on their analysis. that the SSA records contain errors about 4.1 percent of the time. 4.1 percent over 163 million workers is a lot of folks. So we have our work cut out for us. I will note that there are 11 different bills that have been introduced by Members of this House with different ways and ideas on how to improve the employment verification system.
