How would an employer verify the authenticity of a social security card? It simply not done in almost all cases.

  The SS card needs to be combined with a 2nd form of photo ID (or voter registration card, which I’ve always found odd since that sounds really easy to forge) But yes, someone could forge a SS card and a photo ID. It would be up to the employer to decide whether anything looks suspicious. Definitely not foolproof.

    Yes, and the second form of identification need say nothing about legal eligibility to work. It would be a huge burden to ask the employer to verify these documents. I have worked in and with several businesses that knowingly turn a blind eye to the fake documents they photocopy/scan and file. The system is working as designed, propping up the businesses profiting from illegal labor. Those who claim to be upset about illegal immigration don't want E-Verify mandates. They want a permanent underpaid underclass.
