Ron Paul warns E-Verify threatens us all

... Some supporters of E-Verify deny the program poses any threat to civil liberties, as it will only be used to verify citizenship or legal residency. They even claim a system forcing individuals to have their identities certified by the government is not a national ID system. These individuals are ignoring the history of government programs sold as only affecting a particular group or being used for a limited purpose being expanded beyond initial targets. For example, Americans were promised that only the wealthiest Americans would ever pay income taxes. And some of the PATRIOT Act’s worst provisions that we were told would only be used against terrorists are routinely used to investigate drug crimes.

E-Verify almost certainly will be used for purposes unrelated to immigration. One potential use of E-Verify is to limit the job prospects of anyone whose lifestyle displeases the government. This could include those accused of failing to pay their fair share in taxes, those who homeschool or do not vaccinate their children, or those who own firearms.

Unscrupulous government officials could use E-Verify against those who practice antiwar, anti-tax, anti-surveillance, and anti-Federal Reserve activism. Those who consider this unlikely should remember the long history of the IRS targeting the political enemies of those in power and the use of anti-terrorism laws to harass antiwar activists. They should also consider the current moves to outlaw certain types of “politically incorrect” speech, such as disputing the alleged “consensus” regarding climate change. ...

One post past yours (#28). Legal, Constitutional, done.

I asked what they were going to do about it. The answer was “Nothing.”

Probably just following orders from someone higher up who doesn't want such crimes investigated, let alone prosecuted. That lack of enforcement goes throughout our bureaucracies and it will take a long time to turn it around.

And we know who's being protected by the lack of enforcement of that, and so many immigration laws.

I have one - it is shared by at least four others in various parts of the country.

How did you learn that you SS# was being used by four others?

[Nifster]

Apparently you missed the part that says the House has the authority to legislate as they will on immigration matters

Being here illegally is a crime. By the way your use of cryptic referencing on the constitution is pointless

Went to the SS office and asked (after an employee of mine got a call from a place that his “wife” worked, they were trying to verify his address; from 400 miles away). Lady slipped up and told me. I suspect they let them pay into the system anyway.

The problem is our system for obtaining a social security card is not secure.

If SS #s are unique and individual, and they are used by others than the holder, doesn't the income get credited to the holder's account? I'd love to have a few other workers loading up my SS account so I can pull more retirement pay!

We were wondering why the U.S. was importing such people into the U.S. At least he was working.

We need to be able to trade off our EBT hoodrats, babymamas and trailer park meth heads for willing-to-work immigrants. Send them off to the turd world to "upgrade" it. Crash course the immigrants in English and the preferred cultural behaviors.

[central_va]

We have enough people as it is now. Wages are flat. We do not need to import any more workers. We need higher wages and zero immigration and an import tariif.

[JimRed]

Maybe we could just export the babymamas, hoodrats and meth heads anyway?
