Even Lou Dobbs?

Okay, I want to see a copy of Lou Dobbs' permission slip to work at CNN. Come to think of it, I want to see Bush's permission slip to "work" as the Deciderer in Chief.

The EEVS [Employment Eligibility Verification System] would require -- for the first time -- all workers to obtain a federal agency’s permission to work, regardless of citizenship or immigration status. It would create two massive government databases containing the most sensitive personal information on every lawful resident. Every worker would be registered in the two systems with data files tracking every job they ever sought or held. The two systems combine that information with substantial amounts of personally identifiable information, all keyed to a person’s Social Security number. [emph added]

Bonus kick in the nuts:

The Government Accountability Office estimated implementation costs at $11.7 billion annually, a large share of which would be borne by businesses.
