It sounds like you could use a vacation, Spence. Any time you'd like, come on over and you can stay with me in a place called the real world. You must either just like playing devil's advocate, or you really are living a very sheltered existence.
There are already Federal laws on the books to prevent illegals from getting hired in the U.S., but many companies either don't abide or they unknowingly hire illegals. Have you ever filled out an I9 form for your employer? That document, if used correctly prevents illegals from being hired. Unfortunately, there are many illegals that get hired because the employer doesn't use the tools at their disposal to prevent it from happening.
I use the E-Verify site to authorize every employee that we hire. It's free and simple to use. I can honestly say that we have no illegal aliens working for us and we have a workforce of over 750 people. By forcing contractors to use E-Verify, you aren't creating a new law, you're just ensuring that the current laws are followed.
