Republicans ignore 1986 Immigration Bill to further the agenda of legalizing 20 milion immigrants

So, I was watching John Kyl on the news this morning trying to save his and every other republican that supports this sham of an immigration bill. He said that legislation was "necessary" because it is currently unlawful for employers to verify legalization status with a tamper proof ID. This is of course political speak for saying that the ID's which employers are currently required to use are subject to counterfeiting. Of course, he does not provide any explanation as to why the new ID's will be counterfeit, nor does he point out that the government under the 1986 immigration control act (i.e. the last time amnesty was granted) promised for employer verification and government monitoring.

The act required the president to create a system which would enable the federal government to monitor the employees which are hired by companies and verify the ID's which presented. The president is still vested in that authority and could create that monitoring system any time he chooses without the passage of a new bill and the legaization of 20 million illegal aliens.

As anyone with eyes can read. This problem as already supposed to be addressed. Even though it was not, the Preseident still has the authority to create a monitoring system which would actually verify the documents which employers are currently provided to check. So let's here it Jon and George. What went wrong with this system? Why would any of us believe the new system would be any different? The 80% of the people who oppose this bill understand that nothing will be different, and your lies no longer affect us.

Without further ado, and quoted right from the 1986 Immigration Reform & Control Act:

Such changes in the system may be implemented only if the changes conform to the requirements of paragraph (2).
