No masquerade intended. I dont post often so I dont know the protocol. It is my opinion.
If you have a valid reason to oppose this E-verify legislation lets hear it.
The dangerous and intrusive precedent set by the bill opens the floodgate of additional incursive and contentious employment verification hurdles. Mission creep is the signature of all bureaucracies. After enactment of the Legal Workforce Act, employers could soon be required to verify whether employees are delinquent in the payment of federal, state, or local taxes, in compliance with child support or alimony decrees, on a terrorist watch list, or convicted or even accused of crime.
We are born with an unalienable right to acquire property through our own labor. Private property is a bulwark against government oppression. Requiring citizens to secure permission from the Department of Homeland Security to enjoy the fruits of their labor is an unacceptable violation of our civil liberties.
Errors in the verification process will be practically immune from timely legal redress and violate another constitutional tenet. Citizens have already lost their jobs after DHS deemed them not work-authorized. The CBO reports that in 2009 about 80,000 workers likely received erroneous findings from the system and may have lost their jobs.
Fearing this retaliation, free speech will chill and citizens will be loath to criticize government.
