And how does this support the current situation?

The CC companies aren't being threatened with jail for being scammed. And it happens on a regular basis.

But if I hire someone with fraudulent papers well then "off with my head"!

If that is what I am being threatened with that then I want a system that works a little bit better then the CC system.

I can follow all the rules but there are still holes. And if we ever go to the "Fair Tax" system then the tiny net I have is going to be gone.

This is inaccurate. All you have to do is make a good faith effort. If you use the verification system on the internet, or just make a phone call to SS to ask whose name goes with the SS#, then you will be immune from any further prosecution should shenanigans be going on with your new hire.

It's a very easy and safe process, and those who kick and scream against it do give the impression that they are dependent on the cheap, tax free, and docile illegal foreign workers, IMO.
