Snag On Employment Verification

The recent efforts by the Bush administration to implement mandatory verification of employment for illegal immigrants has hit another snag. A judge had previously ruled against a crackdown on employees who weren't able to prove their identity, and the administration is now revising their plan. The government is apparently still considering an appeal, but it also looking at other ways to enforce the verification process.

This is ridiculous! As I understand it, anyone who was flagged as a potential illegal alien had 90 days to show documentation of their identity before any penalties were incurred. What honest, legitimate citizen couldn't come up with that documentation in just a fraction of that time? This is just another effort by the open borders crowd to prevent as much actual crackdown as possible, as well as how important judicial nominations are.

There's my two cents.
