E-verify doesn’t have facial image data, other than for a small subset of green card holders. (And in the current political climate, there would be a lot of discomfort regarding privacy in sending state driving license data to the Feds and having them essentially create a national biometric ID database.)
Wouldn’t it be relatively easy to hire an illegal immigrant who holds a stolen or fake ID and has a valid SSN/name combo?
Not that I mind. I consider the privacy risks of the extension of biometric databases to be larger than the economic risks of a few tens of millions of illegals working in the US. If they can get across the fence and behave themselves, let ’em work.
