The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Ahh, Jerry. Your innocence is refreshing.

I'm not talking about getting an actual SSN in their name. I'm talking about obtaining a name/SSN combo that will pass E-verify. I guess I didn't make that part clear.


(chuckle><chuckle>

They can't get one. That is the point. They submit ANY SSN+name combination and it will fail.

To pass E-Verify, an existing SSN+name must match--AND it can NOT be in use by anyone else. It also can not be that of a dead person (SSA keeps those records). That is where your logic fails. The employer has eight days to get it right--or else. So the employer does NOTHING when the E-Verify system rejects the request. How does an employer keep people on the payroll? They ignore the law because the cost is too high to NOT do so--and they get rewarded for it with cheap, low-cost, disposable labor.

We have all seen the results when management faces going to jail. So, your claims are totally irrational.
