GAO told us. in 1980. that we could not create a card that would never be borrowed. misused. or falsified. And we cannot expect an employer. facing stiff penalties and fines. to be able to tell the difference. Meanwhile. computer crime would grow while our civil libeyties shrink. A national identifier serves neither employer nor employee. Already employerswhether farmers or restaurant ownershave to fill out forms for FICA. social security. workers compensation. employment records. and health insurance. H.R. 1510 would require employers to verify as well as maintain immigration documents. Large employees would have to hire entire immigration security divisions. At what cost? For the Government.
