In other words: (1) We need our slave laborers and will say anything to keep them - no lie to is too big; (2) if eVerify will cost any business a single penny, then it’s too expensive to prevent $113 billion in ANNUAL welfare, education, healthcare and incarceration costs to the taxpayers from millions of illegal aliens.
It is yet another BROKEN fix for a problem caused by....government.
Is not a job a contract between employer and employee? Then what business is it of the gov’t?
With all the ‘Laws’ on the books, is it any wonder we’re not ALL ‘flagged’ as felons?
Bad enough the tax and regs business has to worry about. Then, throw on top: min. wages (talk about NO gov’t authority), OSHA, EEOC, unions, O’Care, etc.
Businesses are risk takers. Just because someone isn’t flagged doesn’t mean the til won’t be empty at the end of the night. It’s up to the business OWNERS to ensure their own viability.

But that's a problem, as Eddie Snowden has pointed out.
E-verify is the best way to combat illegals. If it's actually enforced, it will work, and they'll self-deport. Problem solved.
But if it metastasizes in the manner Professor Cochrane supposes, then we'll just have to march on Washington and kill all of them and burn it to the ground!
