[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There is nothing wrong with E-Verify.  Everyone should support it.

And bring back Secure Communities - even if the democrats are opposed to Secure Communities. It is the right thing to do.[/quote]

Oh geeze...  how about these things. One, it doesn't do anything to actually prevent someone in the country illegally from being able to legally work. All you need is a name and social security number. The system only pings the name and number for a match, and that's it. (Now remember, we have an entire island (Puerto Rico) where they have US citizenship status and Hispanic last names and are very poor. Many Puerto Ricans sell their SSNs to people in the US so that those people can work and use their names.) Two, it also requires law abiding, naturally born US citizens to have to prove that they are eligible to work in their own country. Three, it relies on the SSN which was never intended to be a national identity number (same problem applies when it comes to credit fraud and identity theft). [/quote]

It also makes employers into immigration enforcement agents. An employer is caught in a no win situation. They are responsible for reviewing the documents presented to confirm employment eligibility. If the employer questions the validity of those documents too much (for example, a SSN written in crayon on a green piece of construction paper) they could be liable for employment discrimination by immigration rights groups. If they don't scrutinize the documents enough, then they could get hit with a knowing hire violation which can carry both civil and criminal charges. [/quote]

The problem is that the immigration rights group is the problem [/quote]
