E-verify will indeed ensure that instead of people working under the table, there is a massive market created for stolen identities to get through the E-verify system, probably targeting individuals who would not realize their identity was stolen are used in such a way.

If there is considerable demand and there are people that would be willing to pay a lot of money for a product, people are going to marketed, illegal or not, and whether they even do it or just run away with the money.

What worries me about all of this is that its just going to put a lot more people into a deeper shadow, the SB1070 ensures that people will not even trust the police even to report a crime to themselves or that they witnessed (already detectives have a hard time solving murder cases that take place in latino communities because people won't volunteer out of fear, they suspect), people that will take jobs for far lower pay, in far more deplorable conditions, where the employeer is clearly taking advantage of the fact that they could make a lot of money and never get caught. It worries me to think that this may be happening right now.
