DHS is obsessed about identification of persons in the US. Eventually those who end up with an E-Verify SSA Tentative Non-Confirmation will be forced to contest their being blacklisted, even when the TNC'ed individual is a natural born citizen of the USA. TNC'ed individuals will have a much more difficult time flying if DHS gets its way as their ID will not be accepted by TSA the way a US passport or other US federal government approved ID would be accepted. That is the DHS pipe dream.
