Well, folks, the government is finally cracking down

YOu are required to prove you're eligible to legally work in this country. But let's not let a little thing like that get in the way of companies hiring illegal aliens or anything.

Just a note spalladino Law Enforcement only has that right if they are runing your name and or they are looking for you. They don't have the right to do it on a whim.

Yes, you are required to prove that you're eligible to legally work in this country...to your employer. No one else, outside of law enforcement, has the right to walk up to you and require you to produce an ID. Before you go off on a tangent, Ted, try real hard to remember that I'm as oppossed to illegal aliens as you or anyone else is.

It no one has to prove they are legal, how can any investigation be valid?

Ask our leaders, who have forgotten if you do an illegal act, you lose your rights. Instead, their eyes are on the number of votes they can get and the more illegal aliens we can keep, the more illegal votes go in. In Arizona, they can no longer even ask for a driver's license idenification or any other type before they vote.

There has never been any legislation or Constitutional backing for the swill that breaking the law negates rights.

It's not that the government doesn't realize what the Constitution is for; it's that they couldn't possibly care less.

No, bob, you don't have it exactly right. If the employer *knowingly* hires an illegal he can and should be fined. If the employee provided the employer with forged/fake documentation, the employer will not be fined because he has no way of knowing that it is forged/fake. If an employer refuses to hire someone who is a citizen of this country based on the incorrect assumption that that person is here illegally, then he possibly could be sued but most employers don't broadcast why they choose not to hire one person over another. Your ID examples are good but you left out the one that was connected with your question. Can someone come up to you while you are working and demand that you produce an ID for them? No. Can a cop walk up to you and require you to produce your ID if you're not doing anything wrong or don't fit the description of someone who did do something wrong? If "the government" were allowed to do that in the workplace because *someone* suspected that you were an illegal, what's the next violation of our rights to follow? It's up to the employer to make sure that all of the paperwork is filed and accepted before an employee is hired.

Ah, but there lies the rub. The employers can hand over only what papers they WANT the auditors to see, not what the auditors ASK to see.

It is NOT a civil rights anything. That is a red herring, one that has only served to promote criminal actions and terrorism.

Then all they would have to do is show the paperwork properly filled out to the auditors, but right now, the employers gets to PICK what he will show the auditors. It may civil rights for legal people, but for those coming in illegally, they have already broken the law and lost their rights to many things. How about road blocks? They ask for identification from EVERY driver, not just the white, the brown, the yellow, the black, but EVERYONE. I'm fairly certain that not every one of those people is a criminal, and if they aren't, they have no problem showing identification. That has nothing to do with civil rights, but with trying to protect those who are innocent.
