This employment verification is only the first step. As the gentleman from Michigan has said. this is the nose under the tent towards a national identification card. a first step towards the loss of our freedom. Remember this. only a small percentage uf employers knowingly hire undocumented workers. We have laws on the books that require reporting for every new hire. the 19. but we do not spend any money on enforcement. We have a law that requires that employers pay minimum wage and withhold Social Security. the Fair Labor Standards Act. but we do not spend any money on enforcement.
