This is a really excellent concept. Which of course is why it will be bitterly opposed by the Chamber of Cronies, Wall Street Journal, and rest of the open borders crowd who have prevented E-verify from becoming mandatory to this very day.
Better concept is to seize the businesses and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law anyone who hiring illegals.
The main reason why an E/O like this won’t work is the judicial jerks in our federal courts.
They were the idiots that shut down Arizona SB 1070. They were the idiots that shut down Trump’s immigration orders.
And they sure as hell would declare any measure of this type as illegal before the ink would even dry.
Our nation is being run by ayatollahs in black robes.
I worked for a company that used e-verify nationally. It was required if you wanted to do government work (Construction).
Most of us figured we had some “illegals” working for us. But we were legally helpless. Here was the problem. When a person applies for the job and fills out the form and says they are a citizen and presents a SS# and card and birth certificate and shows ID and then PASSES e-verify, It’s a dangerous thing to accuse them of identity theft or fraud with fake documents.
Our HR manager confided in me that we had some workers whose age and photo ID were pretty suspect for what they were presenting. BUT, legally, if they took any action, it could be considered discrimination. These were construction labor positions, so it’s hard to disqualify someone on skills.
The E-verify system is supposed to be fool proof and is controlled by the government. So you essentially take the liability off the business if they should have someone that uses a legitimate ID.
