Alan Bersin, commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection, says he didn't know he's required by law to complete a form saying he verified that his household employees were eligible to work in the U.S.
Bersin said he collected Social Security cards, driver's licenses and other documents from 10 household employees he has hired since 1993, to make sure they could work in the U.S.
But he did not fill out and keep a particular form, known as an I-9, which is signed by the employer and employee and details documents accepted to verify the employee's legal status.
Members of the Senate Finance Committee said they are surprised by that, because Bersin was a U.S. attorney.
Obama named Bersin commissioner through 2011 during a congressional recess. He must be confirmed by the Senate to serve longer.

The average person on the street knows what an I-9 is and he doesn’t. Yah, riiiight.........
To: La Enchiladita
But whether he filled out an I-9 or not, is there any evidence that his employees were illegal aliens?

Oh come on, these people don't believe in the law. It's just something they do to collect money, they don't actually "follow" the law.
It's for the little people, like taxes.

I’m sure he was spoken to very harshly. After all, the committee was “surprised” at this indiscretion.
Most everyone else is under the assumption I-9’s are required by “law”.

Mr. Bersin was born in 1946 to a Jewish family in Brooklyn, New York[2]. He attended public schools and Hebrew school in New York City. He received an A.B. in government from Harvard, and then attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar. In 1974, he obtained a J.D. degree from Yale Law School.Ah, there's that Ivy League exceptionalism again.
