The "enhanced Social Security card" is being touted as a way to curb illegal immigration by giving employers the power to quickly and accurately determine who is eligible to work.

Proponents also hope legal hiring will be easier for employers if there's a single go-to document instead of the 26 that new employees can currently use to show they're authorized to work.

Most of these employers don't care if these immigrants are illegal or not. They want to hire them so they can pay them the lowest amount they can get away with.
