Yes, I know that. I'm objecting to the idea of expanding the idea to a national ID system as others have proposed on this thread.
agree that a national ID system would be horrific. But i think that the national guard and/or military at the border is a different issue, respectfully.
The current verification system utilizes existing databases. It does not record any information about an prospective employee or the employer. It merely returns a true or false on whether the social security number and name combination submitted or valid. The employer uses the system, not the government.
