Please pick a handle or moniker for your comment. It's much easier to address someone by a name or pseudonym than simply "hey you". I have the option of requiring a "hard" identity, but I don't want to turn that on... yet.

No spam, pr0n, commercial advertising, insanity, lies, repetition or off-topic comments. Creationists, Global Warming deniers, anti-vaxers, Randians, and Libertarians are automatically presumed to be idiots; Christians and Muslims might get the benefit of the doubt, if I'm in a good mood.

Employers already require proof of citizenship or permission to work (visa). It would seem that all that is required is random inspections and massive finings of industries prone to the employment of the undocumented.

Additionally, there have been documented instances of administration critics appearing on the No Fly List. Absent any sort of even administrative—much less judicial— review, the potential to punish critics by denying them not just the right to travel but also the right to work would be too tempting to resist.
