I never said that. Why don't you document where I said that -- you can't!
Employers are REQUIRED to ask for proof an employee is legally eligable[sic] to work. The potential employee can choose to provide a passport or other legal documentation, but the employer MUST ask, and must get it before employing someone.
So private companies are required by the government to get their potential employee to show their papers in order that they may get a job? Gee, that sounds familiar.
How is that different than private airline companies required by the government to get the potential air traveler to show their papers in order that they may travel by air.
There's not a dimes worth of difference. Same goes with the drivers license and registration example -- all which was my original point.
Did I say I approved of all that? Nope. Just the reality of it is that illegals could EASILY be found.
Our government has no need to track citizens more closely.
