My point exactly. Gov’t ‘solving’ a problem itself creates; abusing the Rights of the Citizens it is instituted to PROTECT.
You asked “What if the employee were here illegally?” The question should be, why should the employer be on the hook to track/verify/etc.??
It’s the Fed. gov’ts JOB to protect the border (one of the FEW enumerated powers), and it doesn’t do SH!TE. But, they’ll load the responsibility onto those that presume they are doing their expected duties?!
RE: It’s the Fed. gov’ts JOB to protect the border (one of the FEW enumerated powers), and it doesn’t do SH!TE.
The problem is in the definition of “borders”. Oftentimes, a person comes here LEGALLY ( e.g. via a visitor’s visa ) and then OVERSTAYS. In fact, a SIGNIFICANT portion of those here illegally are overstayers who came in LEGALLY.
So, a fence will help, but that doesn’t solve all the problem.
So, if you object to eVerify, how do you propose to prevent illegals from working?
