Wow, you mean have to obey the law or something. Nancy Pelosi must be having an extra period over this one.

I have a problem with the concept that a business that contracts to other businesses is responsible for whether or not those businesses follow all the rules. Carry that concept out and I can be held accountable as an end-user if I shop at a store that dumps toxic waste...

When we sign for purchases in the military, we have to sign a statement that "to the best of our knowledge no ozone-depleting chemicals were used in the manufacture of the items....". Talk about a crock of **it. As if most of us have an idea of whether or not manufacturers are breaking federal laws...

Still remember old Puce Pelosi and her socialist viewpoint on the raid. Apparently, the RATS lost some votes from the illegals that the RATS would make legal so they could vote for any and all RATS as a "thank you."

US Rep. Pelosi says Wal-Mart arrests "terrorizing"

Reuters, 10.24.03, 6:15 PM ET

MEXICO CITY, Oct 24 (Reuters) - U.S. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said on Friday police raids on dozens of U.S. Wal-Mart stores in the search for illegal immigrants this week amounted to "terrorizing" workers.

"It instills a great deal of fear in people who are only trying to earn a living and put food on the table for their family," Pelosi, a California Democrat, told reporters on a Congressional visit to Mexico.

Hundreds of workers at Wal-Mart Stores Inc. (nyse: WMT - news - people) locations across the United States were arrested on immigration charges on Thursday in an investigation into contractor cleaning crews.

"We think there might be a better way to go about this because the fact is that it is against the law for the employer to hire these people so there should be more focus on the employer and less in these terrorizing raids," Pelosi said.

She was speaking after meeting Mexican President Vicente Fox for talks on immigration and border security.

Pelosi said the Wal-Mart raids showed the need to legalize undocumented workers in parts of the economy other than just the agricultural sector.

Several bills to grant legal status to illegal immigrants working in U.S. agriculture are before Congress, including the Berman-Cannon bill which would let an estimated 500,000 illegal immigrants earn legal residency.

"It's clear from reading the law how difficult it is for employers in that they can't discriminate against a worker for having a foreign-sounding name or an accent but then facing penalties if that person is found to be illegal," she said.

That's why every employee has a valid I-9 on file. The HR Manager isn't expected to be an expert in determining the validity of documents presented as proof of right to work but they must be presented and recorded. There's your out.
