E-verify should be the enforced law-of-the-land.

Having regular audits of all businesses would be an undue burden on many who do not break the law. However, if it is targeted on industries where hiring of illegal aliens is rampant - meat packers, big farmers, construction, etc., it would be appropriate and well deserved.

Some months ago, ICE came down on a meat packer, who had many of their illegal alien employees picked up for deportation. The company whined about it, but when word got out, they had more Americans applying for those now vacant jobs than they had jobs. The claims that they were "jobs Americans won't do" was proven false.

I would love to see ICE start paying some visits to the big farmers around here.
