"Not a single employer was fined last year for doing so."
If they ever start fining employers, no employer will hire
any hispanic, ever. Employers can't be expected to be
able to detect counterfeit ID cards and papers;
and there is no way an employer can determine whether
a hispanic was born in the USA or only comes from the local barrio.
I realize it's anecdotal, but you're not quite right there. When a person shows up to work for me after having been fired, and presents totally new ID purporting to be someone else, I'm pretty sure I'm looking at fake ID.
Stop hallucinating. If all employers should be verifying SS numbers via an easily accessible government database. Once the employees SS is shown to be a real then he can be hired. This is what should be made law. Right now employers get to play a game of pretend where they accept the worst shit fake ID for employment
