Yeah, this moron would actually know who was doing the work in my house.
So you have background checks done on every employee of any company that walks into your house?
You must go over-budget on all your repairs.
Really. So you go to a company that does house remodeling or home theater installations. They have a nice website and showroom. You check out their work and see it is good. You look over the contract and the quote and sign it. You head back to Washington, DC and can't wait to return to see your family's nice, new home theater. The kids are going to love it. At what point in the process do you check out the immigration status of the workers that may be assigned by the contractor to do the work on the house? I'm sure that you would hope that the contractor, who holds a contractor's license, would obey all relevant laws. The blame lies with the contractor and the people who give out the licenses. Again, if it had been reported that Tancredo stormed into the basement upon seeing a hispanic-looking fellow and demanded to see his immigration paperwork you'd be having fun calling Tancredo a "racist" or some other crap. Admit it.
If you hired a contractor to do work on your home and one of his workers was hispanic, would you ask to see documentation of his legal status?
