No, we do not need and should not institute E-Verify. A tool that can be misused to control employment is a very dangerous POWER to put in the hands of the Federal government.

You don't understand how the E-Verify program works. It has nothing to do with controlling employment. It has to do with enforcing the laws of this nation and protecting American jobs.

Bounty systems can be so effective they were used to eradicate passenger pigeons to the point of extinction. All that would have to be done is to put a $5,000 bounty on an illegal turned in and deported with a $25,000 penalty on legal immigrants or citizens illegally detained. I promise you, in this job market they would be gone so fast it would scare you.

Yeah, that's the ticket. Resort to what amounts to legal vigilantism. There are over 40 million foreign born in this country, most of them here legally. And exactly how would the bounty hunters determine who was here legally or illegally? Check their papers? This is a recipie for anarchy and divisiveness. The Nazis tried something similar with the Jews and the East Germans had a system of reporting on dissidents. Turning in one's neighbor is not the best way to deal with a problem of this magnitude. Moreover, it woiuld never be approved politically. No politician would ever support such a program nor would the American people.

Kabar, lets back up a little and address some real basics you are taking for granted:

“Businesses that do not comply face suspension of its business license.”

Licensing business. Really? I need a license to pursue Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness? Really.

Like I said I hate the stupid village.

I hate the language: “Business that do not comply.”

Screw you piratical raiders of other peoples productivity!

All you gubment cheese eating lemmings can just go screw off! Figure out how to be productive then talk to me about licensing and compliance! SCREW OFF VILLAGE!

I absolutely understand how the E-Verify program is INTENDED to work. But intent is not the problem here. Power is.

Yeah, that's the ticket. Resort to what amounts to legal vigilantism.

That's right. Citizens are the ultimate in law enforcement. This crap about vigilantism is the war cry of the lawyers who have put this country in a unionized bureaucratic straitjacket. Are you one of them? If you don't trust the citizens of this country then don't ask for a jury if you are accused of a crime.

The Nazis tried something similar with the Jews and the East Germans had a system of reporting on dissidents.

It is a trick of the left to demonize people with what they actually intend. Pull this crap with me again and I'll call you out for the kind of fascist you quite apparently are. I have family who died in the holocaust. How the hell do you think they were found if it were not for citizen registries of Jews? That's what we're talking about here.
