The reason they do not know is they don’t want to know. They just want cheap labor. And scream about not being able to get workers. Well they can get works as many as they want if they are willing to pay for them.
Correct. I grew up in the region. It is all about cheap labor and companies looking the other way in order to secure it.
Talk to the HR of on of these major manufacturers still left in this country and ask him if he is allowed to check the validity of the papers given to him or if he is terrified of the lawsuits that would follow if he did. This is no joke to these people.
They need cheap labor and if the person has papers and you are not allowed to check them then you should be allowed to hire them. Otherwise fix the law fix the problem.
