This is from http://www.ins.gov/graphics/howdoi/EEV.htm

While citizens and nationals of the U.S. are automatically eligible for employment, they too must present proof of employment eligibility and identity and complete an Employment Eligibility Verification form (Form I-9).

I used to process new employees in a police department. I completed the I-9 and had to have driver's license and original Social Security card which I copied and sent to government. It may have required more, I can't remember. I wasn't required to verify, just supply the information.

On this I-9 form that I'm reading,

it says that the employee is voluntarily giving this information

but yet they mandate it by the employer!!.
