PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cross Match Technologies, Inc., a leading global provider of high-quality interoperable biometric identity applications and solutions, urges the addition of biometric data to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Basic Pilot Program to end illegal employment obtained through the use of stolen identities of U.S. citizens. Yesterday’s DHS raids on Swift & Co. meat-processing plants in six states resulted in the arrest of hundreds of employees who used the stolen identities and Social Security numbers of U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents to obtain employment, which could have been prevented had biometric checks been a part of the program.
