>> > >When you apply for a job have you been asked to present a Social Security >Card and a driver's license? That is a citizenship check. that is totally incorrect. No state requires citizenship, for a drivers licence, not even texas. drivers licence in many states, MD included does not require a "green card" and MD does not check. at least until very recently, anyone could get a social security card. i have sponsored around 20 immigrants. all had driver licence and social security card before the process was started. maryland wants 4 or 5 id's for drivers licence, but with a valid foreign passport, one can skate around citizenship. if one has a valid I-94, one needs nothing else. the Cheney administration wanted all companies to check all SS numbers of all employees against citizenship/greencard records. they started that, but soon discovered the two databases were incomparable, incomplete, and it took a very long time to run through the hundreds of millions of SS numbers(none have ever been deleted). early numbers, such as mine do not have any record of citizenship. nobody cared in 1944 or 46, or whenever i got mine. they also figured out(i think), that they did not want to open up access to the ss database(good thinking, george). i just looked, texas will also accept an i94 as primary id. ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
