Companies are already supposed to make sure that they hire legal workers. E-Verify gives them the tools.
My rights are violated when the government helps business hire low-wage illegal aliens, giving them and the unemployed Americans welfare from my pocket. My rights are violated by illegal alien children being in public schools and now universities. My right to life is threatened by the diseases illegal aliens bring to this country, the unsanitary illiterates picking our crops, and the same illegals driving. My rights are violated by the government aided invasion of this country.

Hiring an illegal alien is not an essential liberty. It is theft backed up by government coercion.

Hiring an illegal alien is not an essential liberty.

Nobody said it was. That's a straw man.

The essential liberty in this case is not having to get permission from the feds to work and earn your daily bread; just because they won't do their job and secure our borders and enforce the mountain of laws that are already on the books.
