What I would like to know is how hard is it for a business to legally and economically vett an applicant for citizenship or legal work permit status?
I suspect that smaller businesses don't have a prayer.

everify, a free of charge voluntary system, is available, or so I believe, as I do not hire anybody personally. Making everify mandatory has been a proposal in the past, but knocked out of legislation by the usual suspects. Compliance costs are minimal.

I've been told by an HR person that the quickest and easiest way to spot 90% of illegals is the federal eVerify program. According to her, it's an online program that simply confirms that a valid social security number is held by the person named on the job app.
Being a one-time deal and given all of the other tax and reporting requirements being what they are, this seems to be a minimal extra effort required of even the smallest business.

I suspect it's not a matter of verification difficulty. I'd guess it's a matter of being cheaper for the business to pay illegals $1 an hour than a citizen minimum wage.

To: Bob
What happens when the social security number matches in eVerify?
To: Navy Patriot
It's very difficult. If a small business makes one move that's perceived to be discriminatory, they end up being sued. So, basic questions on the application are designed to do the vetting in a generic way...(so to speak) and we all know how honest criminals are when completing applications.

...everify, a free of charge voluntary system, is available, or so I believe... The problem with e-verify, as I understand it, is that the Social Security administration won't vouch for its accuracy.
As a consequence, an employer using e-verify and not hiring a given person becomes subject to liability charges brought thru the EEOC.
Proving once again that the federal government cannot be counted upon to do anything right. Except, possibly, collect taxes.

easiest way to spot 90% of illegals is the federal eVerify program. Seems like e Verify is a good tool, but some illegals can slip through. That makes the 43% of Arizona businesses having an illegal seem logical, and demonizes fewer employers.
Still, it's the Federal government that allowed the situation to grow into the disaster that it is,.

If they could control the job situation to where there was no profit for these guys to come here, ie no job for them, the illegal situation would be solved, imho.
Wonder if the new anti-immigration bill Jan Brewer signed yesterday will help?
