Have you considered the possibility that an administration like Obama’s might abuse ‘E-verify’?
It seems to me that such a system could quite easily be misused by a politically partisan, pro-illegal immigration, administration such as Mr. Obamas.
It could potentially be a tool to harass opponents of the administration (Were sorry, sir, but SSA says you are NOT eligible to work in this country. Im sure its just a mix-up of some sort and they have assured me that they should be able to get things squared away so you can get a job and start earning some money in no more than 6 months or so).
Crazy? Maybe; but I can also think of a much more likely, and more damaging overall, method by which a system such as e-verify could be misused. A pro-illegal-immigration administrations SSA could improperly declare large numbers of illegal aliens to actually be ELIGIBLE for employment. Given how difficult it is to deport illegal aliens now, imagine how much harder it will be when they have a piece of paper in their hand from the government saying they are eligible to work in this country. A widespread policy of accidently declaring illegals eligible to work would basically serve as a defacto amnesty- and congress would not even need to be consulted.
I think there is a chance that the pro-amnesty crowd is actually only feigning opposition to e-verify (PLEASE dont throw me in that briar patch) in order to get those who support true reform ‘spun up’ enough to force its approval. Later, when it is a dismal failure, or has been horribly abused, they can declare “well, you asked for it!”

NO. You must already be an employee before your info is submitted to e-verify.
An employer can’t fire you until after the appeals process is complete.
