We pretty much already have that with the requirement to have a driver's license to drive. That said, the primary objective I've seen is to thwart illegal employment and crime and use of welfare by illegals, which go beyond mere presence.

Indeed. Given we already have a requirement to provide a valid social security number, E-verify really doesn't add to the government intrusion we already have.
