In order to get a driver's license or receive non-emergency medical
treatment or receive hand-outs of food or clothing from the
government, there should be a verification that the recipient is a US
citizen. With the current technology, there should be an easy call-in
or log-in to verify eligibility for work. It's being done for gun
purchases, why not citizenship?

I guarantee we check each employee's background for criminal
convictions and we drug check each employee before we hire them.
