E-Verify was created by executive fiat, and it was designed to morph over time into something more and more restrictive. It was always intended to eventually become mandatory.

If you don’t think that process is intended to continue to its logical conclusions, which is maximum governmental power and minimal citizen liberty, you’re too naive for words.

Go after the illegals and stop going after innocent Americans.

So, you are against what E-Verify could become, not what it is, now?

E-Verify can't hurt an American. It does nothing to stop any employer from hiring someone who doesn't “check out.”

It does properly put the onus back on the employer when the person hired was not checked and found to exist. It is this that allows the feds to prosecute the employer for inappropriately hiring illegals.

However, for you Chamber of Commerce types, I can understand your repulsion.

So, you'd be for elimination of E-Verify and creation of a government program to systematically go through all businesses and have the government determine the legitimacy of each business's employees?

How else do you think government finds out who is legally here and who isn't? You want the government to get rid of illegals but you don't want government to have any way to identify an illegal.

Are you sure you're a conservative? You can't even come up with a viable alternative to accomplish this supposed “desire” you have to get rid of our illegals.

Yup, you are a Chamber of Commerce plant.
