According to the Sonoran News, a birther-friendly conservative web site in Arizona, Linda Jordan, a Seattle woman used the E-Verify system to check Obama’s employment eligibility. She claims to have gotten a “Notice of Mismatch with the Social Security Administration records.”
Jordan (as one of Obama’s employers) has written the President, asking him to fill out an I-9 form verifying his name, social-security number and citizenship status.
Logic only a birther could love.
E-Verify is a service of the US Department of Homeland Security. Users of the system must first electronically sign a Memorandum of Understanding that states:
The Employer agrees not to use E-Verify procedures for pre-employment screening of job applicants, in support of any unlawful employment practice, or for any other use not authorized by this MOU.
Since Obama is not a “new hire” (nor an employee of Ms. Jordan) I’d say she violated the agreement.
The Employer acknowledges that the information which it receives from SSA is governed by the Privacy Act (5 U.S.C. § 552a(i)(1) and (3)) and the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1306(a)), and that any person who obtains this information under false pretenses or uses it for any purpose other than as provided for in this MOU may be subject to criminal penalties.
