The registry itself would require only $4 million to set up. The bulk of the cost is in checking the Social Security numbers against the registry and correcting any errors that are there. And there are errors there. and it is so important that those errors be corrected. Thus. the Commissions proposal has not only the virtue of cleaning up the Social Security database and the Immigration Service database. but it will also provide a simple. nondiscriminatory method of verifying the work authorization of all new hires. No national ID card. no billion dollar cost. no loss of our liberties and privacy. No horror stories.
