Businesses just ask for a social security number, and a random one is provided. So they can plead ignorance.

  No, they are supposed to ask for documentation, not just a number. https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/form-i-9-acceptable-documents https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/form-i-9-acceptable-docume...

    That's if you're hiring an immigrant as an immigrant, not as something who pretends to be a citizen.

      No; the I-9 process is for everyone.

      No that's incorrect. I-9 verification is for everyone including citizens. Basically you need to show proof that you are legally allowed to work in the US which also applies to citizens. Source: I am an employer.

        My bad. I wish I could delete my comment now :( I think I saw it's USCIS form and jumped to conclusion...

    Enforcement is weak, and there's strong political pressure to keep it weak. "You may NOT require your employees or potential employees to use Self Check or myE-Verify under any circumstances. Requiring applicants to provide proof of their employment authorization before they accept an offer of employment is known as “pre-screening” and it may constitute a violation of the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act. You may not require an employee, once hired, to use Self Check or myE-Verify. Use E-Verify to confirm a new employee’s work authorization."
