They're not.......huh?
First you tell us it's a simple process for employers to figure out legal status of employees, and then tell us government has no way of knowing if they are illegal of not. You are talking out of both sides of your mouth, and making crap up as you think of it.

Employers can use e-verify. That is the Federal government.
E-Verify is intended to detect workers without legal status. How do immigrants get around it?
Mississippi requires all private employers to use
E-Verify, but the law is not followed uniformly. A recent study by the Pew Charitable Trusts found that fewer than half the people hired in the state in recent years were screened.
And even when employers utilize the system, it has a major weakness well known to those who work in the chicken factories:
It does not detect when a job applicant is using somebody else’s identity.
“It would be hard to design a more ineffective system than E-Verify,” said Alex Nowrasteh, a director of immigration studies at the Cato Institute, a libertarian think tank based in Washington. “The system only checks the documents that you give it. It doesn’t check the worker.
That’s the fatal flaw.”
