While I don't condone illegal working the ID card and associated database is not a solution

Basically the ID card and database will now be used to make sure the Inland Revenue doesn't miss taxing any of the lowest paid, which of course means the employer will have to pay NI for them, which means they won't get hired, which means the IR will lose it's income plus the work won't get done as well

So the employer still won't bother to check identities, won't pay any NI and will continue as they do now with the IR not receiving a penny in income anyway

The only difference being the ID card and associated database will have been introduced to the detriment and cost of all
