A bill by Heath Shuler, a North Carolina Democrat, and Tom Tancredo, the Republican anti-immigration extremist from Colorado, would require each of the 7.4 million employers in the United States to participate in E-Verify — and to fire anyone, citizen or otherwise, who cannot prove that he or she has the right to work.This inverts the usual civil liberties principle that by default, the citizens are right, the Government has to prove its case to punish or inconvenience them.
The problem is that the American sheople are likely to go along with this, as they continue to squander their precious heritage.

PS: Think about it. Your "inalienable rights" now depend on your name being in an electronic database system somewhere; your rights will be in jeopardy whenever the system is down, or if someone hacks into it. And you are relying for your liberties on a government that cannot maintain a "no-fly" list.
This country is not your country, it is the Government's country. You are permitted to live here, work here or vote as a special privilege granted by to you by the Government. The Government is here to make the world safe for democracy and can do anything, from suspending habeas corpus and torture to using unreliable electronic voting machines to further its God-Given Purpose. Criticizing the Government is anti-American and unpatriotic and may result in the suspension of your privileges.
