That is curious.
I was required to provide a notarized birth certificate at my last two jobs, in addition to other papers such as government issued picture ID et al.
Maybe it is because I’m a white man?
You figure? The factory I've been at for 6 months regularly lets blacks and whites go for infractions while Hispanics aren't. During the shift-start mission briefing we have a duel-language supervisor repeating it all for the roughly half Spanish language people who won't or can't learn English. I suspect I'm kept on more for being disabled (no larynx) rather than outworking most of them.
Amusing really. My Harpo Marx routines and demonstrations teach these people better and faster than using spoken language.
I'm constantly embarrassed by these Gen Z white kids coming in for a day or two then quitting when the work gets hard or they think they're being treated badly. They illustrate WHY the illegals are preferred.
