Thread: E-verify: An effective no-return policy

I support federal mandatory E-Verify,

but as long as it depends on Social Security cards that have no fingerprints and no photo to connect them to the right person it will have many problems.

Mandatory for all employers. But it will do no good if it's broken, which currently it is. Politicians can easily sit down and fix this, if they want to.

Sure, we'd all like to see it 100%. However, as discussed, very few things in life are actually 100%. Hell, catching 80% of the illegals attempting to illegally get a job is better than catching none of them!

Photographs are used in certain instances. Don't remember exactly how but a quick search will probably give you that information. I think all green cards have a photo that can be matched.

E-Verify should also be used for Welfare and food stamps.....ONLY Citizens should be getting those!!!!!!

Absolutely!!

Another reason why birthright citizenship needs to end; illegals primarily collect welfare through their "citizen" children. And no more taxpayer funded prenatal care for adult illegals either; deport them before they give birth!

I'm not a fan of E-Verify because it's no longer what I thought it was. I thought it was an instant non-stored check for the employer to verify status. It's actually a stored database that tracks legal workers, citizens and legal immigrants. I don't like that. The government has no right to know this information except in SSA and IRS. There was no reason to store the information, so it's no longer a program to detect illegal aliens who won't be stored in the system, it's a program to track US citizens who will be stored in the system. That's a no-go for me.

Try Judy's Plan B instead.
