Rosenblum, who has studied E-Verify, said Westat's evaluation shows it doesn't make sense to substantially expand and invest in E-Verify without fixing the identity theft problem. Bill Wright, a spokesman for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said the agency, part of the Homeland Security Department, has created an anti-immigrant identity fraud unit in Buffalo, N.Y., to address the issue. The agency is developing a way for people to screen themselves through E-Verify so they can show potential employers they can legally work. About 184,000 of the nation's 7 million to 8 million employers are using E-Verify, the Homeland Security Department says on its Web site. Congress gave DHS about $100 million to spend on E-Verify in its 2010 budget. ___ On the Net: DHS E-Verify: http://tinyurl.com/yslx4b Migration Policy Institute:
