Not really --- someone has to pay when the illegal becomes pregnant or sick or when the children of the illegals want to go to school --- who should pay? Those of us who never hired any? Or those who actually benefit by breaking the law to bring in cheap labor? I don't get one iota of economic benefit over someone else having a cheap live-in nanny or gardener to keep their leaves blown off their driveway --- if someone has to pay -- and obviously someone does --- let it be the ones that brought them in. The government will quickly slap a lien on a taxpayer's home when the taxes become too high to be paid ---- it's time they leave the taxpayer alone and go after those bringing in the illegals.
Yes, I understand all that, but I do not agree with the idea of using a federal ID card that must be presented for any of us to get work. Nor using the SS number (a system that should be scrapped). This type of system violates our (all of us, it would not just apply to illegals) rights to privacy and security of personal information and every employer's rights as well.
