as for fake documents, maybe i'm too much of a big government liberal, but i'm confident the government can overcome a 50% error rate if it chooses. they seem to do it ok for passports. nationalize this process too. again, it's a question of whether we really want to stop illegal immigration or not.
The ridiculous issue with EVerify is system not kicking out issues when an illegal uses a legit SSN of somebodyelse who is also working.. (theres zero reason they cant coordinate the IRS database with E-Verify to catch that) It should automatically go hey how is this person working two different jobs 2000mi apart.. And yes as far as the death thing its asinine but then again the issue with illegals using dead SSNs is about on par with the Democrats having dead people vote in elections so that shouldn't surprise anybody at all... As for businesses getting away with not using it.. Sad but true.. I know somebody (my jackass cousin) who runs a cleaning company here in Phoenix Metro and I believe every one of his cleaning crew folks are ILLEGAL except for his wife who had her green card and just became a citizen within the last year, but she has a regular job working at TSR in Scottsdale on the reservation).
Best thing to happen to the illegals here in the area was Sheriff Joe Arpaio getting the boot in the election (2016) because the Obama and others were putting the screws to him at every turn for daring to enforce the damn law.. Corruption at its finest at the highest levels no doubt.
The fact a local Sheriff was enforcing immigration laws shouldn't have been an issue.. They are charged with law enforcement that doesn't mean just local and state laws if somebody violates a federal law local law enforcement can still arrest and then pass it on to the relevant authorities higher up like... CBP and ICE.. The logic used to persecute Joe was akin to them saying he couldn't arrest a pedophile who crossed state lines to meet with a minor who was a cop in reality.. Yeah doesn't work that way..
