I guarantee no business is willing to hire an individual (that is not verifiable through E-Verify) if the fines for noncompliance are steep enough.

Illegal aliens will self-deport looking for work elsewhere. Adios!

From the Center for American Progress:
"expanding it for use in every business presents a number of logistical and costly problems."
770,000 legally authorized Americans would lose their jobs because of errors in the system.
Another 1.2 million to 3.5 million Americans would have to visit a Social Security Administration office to fix erroneous information to avoid losing their jobs. CAP estimates this will cost $190 in lost wages and transportation per persona jobs tax on ordinary Americans.
If made mandatory, E-Verify would decrease federal tax revenue by $17.3 billion over 10 years, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.
Mandatory E-Verify would cost small businesses $2.6 billion a year, according to a recent Bloomberg Government study.
The Department of Homeland Security estimates it would require $765 million to $838 million over four years to operate E-Verify.
The Social Security Administration estimates it would require $281 million over five years to operate E-Verify.
While the purpose of E-Verify is to detect unauthorized workers, E-Verify does not do its job: 54 percent of unauthorized workers for whom E-Verify checks were run were erroneously confirmed as being work-authorized.
This means that even though businesses follow the law and use E-Verify, they could have unauthorized workers
So I guess maybe it's not so simple and cost effective.
