[VERIFICATION]

What good is verification if it's not mandatory and backed up by penalties for noncompliance? You still haven't addressed your inconsistencies.


You have two choices.

Your 2 choices are:
1. Let illegals and their employers remain unregistered and anonymous, or
2. Convince illegals to voluntarily register themselves (and their employers).

I know, I know, you hate those two above options, deny them, and insist upon some magical 3rd way, but those 2 options are all that actually exist.

I'm not persuaded that those are the only two choices, as convenient as it might be for you to magically circumscribe the conversation as though they were.

David Dreier believes that mandatory workplace verification will work. So do I.


Once registered, we can verify compliance. That's something that we simply can't do for 8 million anonymous illegals and more than 1 million anonymous illegal employers. The scope of the problem is simply too large (bigger than the roundup in Germany of 6 million during WW2).

There are more than eight million illegals, not all are employed, and not all who are employed will be able to verify employment. The ones who can we can already find through the workplace verification program once its mandatory.

Your raising of the completely unrelated Nazi spectre indicates a flailing quality to your position.

"David Dreier believes that mandatory workplace verification will work. So do I."

Another question comes to mind. If compulsory verification was the rule. Seems to me the "day labor" centers, that some cities have put up, and the corners that are frequented by Illegals, will become absolute mob zones.

Although I agree verification, along with denial of services, would cause a very large percentage packing on their own. I can see the verification process being circumvented by the use of "casual", "seasonal" or "day" labor. If these loopholes are not addressed in any verification plan, count on a significant amount of non-compliance by shifty employers. After all, they have already shown they don't care all that much for playing by the rules.
