While I think companies that knowingly hire illegals ought to suffer, it’s ridiculous for people to jump on the “get the company bandwagon”. IF they have SSNs and their cards and IDs appear to be in order, it is not UP to you and me as company employees when hiring to be held responsible for someone ELSE holding FORGED documents. Congress, and people around the country need to get off this trip of “blaming companies” outright. Let’s FIX the forms, and identification procedures, and make States stop giving legal drivers license to illegal aliens FIRST, THEN when we fix that, go after companies who are behaving illegally. (Unless you personally can say every document isn’t a forgery, then you need to hire people if they appear legit.)
You will find that the business who follow the law will not have a problem w the ID checks.
You will find that the business who want no enforcement want to hire illegals.
12 out of hundreds not clearing the ID check probably means that these sub-cons were truly trying to hire citizens and not illegals, so I would not be as harsh on these sub-cons. Lets face it 12 out of hundreds turning up illegal in El Paso means that these sub-cons did a good job checking things out...having lived in EP for years I know this is a low illegal-American citizen ratio
However, we must hold those business responsible for hiring illegals, especially when it is blatant.
My comment was meant for any business that hires illegals ,when they knew or should have suspected they were not citizens. If these or any company did everything that is required, of course they shouldn’t be punished. How though were these people determined to be illegal though? What did LE see that business didn’t?
