Our agovernment is filled with morons! These people don’t even keep the same NAME two years in a row. The Mexican government HAS NO BIRTH RECORDS!!! Several we have fired from our business for having an illigitimate SS number, come back a year later with a new name and new SS mumber.
Several years ago, I worked for a large (well-known) food company. We were updating their union payroll system and wanted to have a unique key into the employee file by SSN. Guess what, multiple cases of several people using the same one, and also people coming back with a slightly different name after being let go under the old one. A real eye opener.
However at that time, according to Federal Law (I assume it is still the same), the company was forbidden from asking for proof of citizen ship or green card until after they had hired them. So with these Federal rules in place, it is impossible not to hire illegals.
