Make an identity document that's hard to forge; green cards don't cut it.
Notional pre-hire conversation:
"Where's your green card?"
"I don't need one, I'm a citizen. Here's my driver's licence."
"But you 'look hispanic'."
"Racist!"

Better pre-hire converstion, just as notional:
"May I see your ID so I can fill out the I-9 form?"
"Certainly, here you go."
"Thank you...it will just be a miniute while I call it in....OK, it checks as valid."
The magic is in the "checks as valid" part. A Java-based smart card could do it.
