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.
Well, that’s probably not the woest of it. Our competitors think nothing of hiring them, putting legitimate contractors out of business. we have been unable ot compete with them, but were always legal, believing we didn’t have time to go to jail.
One day the chickens will come home to roost. We are in the business of building bridges, and other structual infrastructure. I’m here to tell you, your infrastructure is crumbling. Bridges used to be designed and built by competent well paid labor to last a hundred years-—Now-—How does twenty years strike you? welcome to the third world!!!
