Thanks, MikeRT and Shelly.

And congratulations to you, MikeRT, for packing a few short paragraphs with so many false premises, invalid assumptions, and errors!

Congratulations!

So, how do you think citizenship and immigration status should be verified?

The standard libertarian open-borders "let anyone hire anyone they want" is unviable, unless you seriously believe (in defiance of history) that allowing a massive wave of foreigners to come live here is ultimately good for the culture and political system. This libertarian position is being proved increasingly unviable as a long-term strategy for protecting individual liberty as shown by incidents like this one.
