E-Verify needs to be fixed.
I was my companies compliance officer several years ago so I’m going from memory and possibly old regulations.
You can’t run E-Verify before you hire someone. You have 3? days after their hired. If it comes back bad they have about 3 weeks to provide proof or ask for a hearing. You can’t fire them for any reason during that time.
You can’t run a check on existing employees. New hires only.
It was a small company. We had one guy that passed E-Verify and we found out he was using a fake SS# about 6 months after he quit. That was when the police called looking for him for some unrelated warrants.
I’d be happy to turn these people in if something would be done; my town - and the whole state of NJ - are sanctuaries where we’d have a lot of vacant properties and half-empty schools if the law was followed - so nothing is done. Who is going to rectify this?

Good question. Can we go back to the way it was in the good ol days? In the 1950s and 1960s most immigration enforcement, most deporatation, was by local law enforcement with no federal involvement.
Local police in Mexico and local police in Chicago had a good working relationship. They would call and give a heads-up on a wanted felon fleeing to the other side.
Local police would be called to a crime scene, domestic disturbance, drunken brawl in a tavern, or whatever. If the local police determined a person was undesireable and an illegal immigrant (and sometimes a legal immigrant) they would hold him in jail until they had enough for a busload (or train car) and then send them all back to Mexico. (That some were not Mexican was ignored. They all look alike.)
Most of the illegals I have played a part in having deported were back in the 60s under the old rules.
Nixon centralized immigration enforcement in the INS (now ICE). Mayor Daley fought Nixon in the courts as his police department was convinced that the INS did not know the local situation and could not do the job. Of course, the “job” was to deport the undesireables quickly.
Chicago has always been a haven for illegals. It has had large populations of Eastern Europeans and Asians who were here illegally. The focus was never on being “undocumented”. The focus was on undesireable behavior. Deportation was just cheaper than the county court system and county jail for a drunken tavern brawl.
I think your memory is pretty close. Yes, it needs both fixed and implemented.
Employers aren’t permitted to question false ID given at time of employment, so this will be of very limited effect.
We need e-verify and for those using false ID, as identified by the IRS, to be expelled.
Oh, I don’t mean we don’t have the resources or personnel to do it - it isn’t being done because the government worker caste (politicians, teachers, etc.) WANT them here. NJ would be dotted with ghost towns if we followed the law
