The article clearly states that businesses were audited but not fined, because it was unfair to ask small business owners to become forgery experts.
Even the ICE and CBP have trouble identifying the computerized forgeries, how can an average American know which papers are fake?
Your 'solution' is hogwash.
Bullshit. If they faced a significant penalty they WOULD learn to identify forgeries or hire someone who could. We're not talking about them scanning thousands of credit apps. We are talking about a small company trying to hire a few people.
it would certainly weed out a goodly number of them. Right now it's wink wink nod nod and no penalty and lots of benefit.
I think we do need to enforce the laws against illegals caught using false documents. I don't think it is fair to put the burden on the employer to determine if they are false. Some employers know they are hiring illegals and some don't, any effort to "get" the ones that knowingly hire illegals will also trap those who hire illegals unknowingly.
I am against a national ID card, but what you say makes sense, how is an employer to really know if the person hired is legal or illegal?
