idt a dissident movement should support stronger surveillance until they're in power but that's just me

That's basically also my view on these authority dilemmas. The answer has to be situational: you don't support any such measures unless your side is in power.

Once your side is firmly in power, then you completely U-Turn and support totalitarianism.

Notice how when one does those political compass quizzes, the answer on some questions is totally situational? Are we living in an ideal society? Or are we living in some degenerate society? I wouldn't care much for free speech, say, in the ideal society, but it is clearly of more value when the people running the show are your enemies who think that everything that you say should be banned.

Bringing this back to e-Verify, the answer to me seems almost deceptively simple: so long as Tweedledum and Tweedledee remain in power, nothing good can come of it, and so there is no rational reason to support it.
