What happens when some data entry clerk screws up the e-verify database entry? No job for you, no reasonable recourse. Just welcome to non-citizenship.

The only way to make it so its not easily bypassed by fake ID is biometrics, which is somewhere else we absolutely do not want to go.

Besides, I dont like the idea of yet another govt database tracking everyone's employment. Then wait for changes to regulations , to include more types of employment that are required to get "verified".

Pretty soon, we will all just be asking the govt for permission to have a job. Sure, just having a little box that saves you paperwork seems innocuous enough at first. The only reason its an issue in the first place, is because of systemic failures elsewhere in govt.

In reality, there should be no need for ID that isnt covered by existing State-issued ID.
