So, because documents can be faked, you want to give the federal government extra-constitutional powers that are so extensive they can determine whether or not you get to work and earn your daily bread.

Okey-dokey then.

Nope. E-Verify doesn't give the government anything you haven't already given them.

It simply allows an employer to validate your picture and you other records to what you should have provided.

What's your problem with that?

E-Verify does not allow the government to do anything to stop your hire.

It does let an employer look at your official passport/license photos to see if that person your interviewed is that person you interviewed. You can still hire the illegal bastard, but the employer now has to explain why Mr. Smith, who obviously looks Scandinavian is a short Guatemalan-looking dude. When the employer has the legitimate information, they can't claim innocence.
