None, Zero, Nada. etc,etc.!
Without a doubt the company's excuse will be that the workers are not company employees. They are subcontracted by a third party who is responsible for checking their status.
Do H2B visas now cover the construction industry? I recently discovered a HUD condominium project in Ohio being built entirely by illegals. I ‘visited’ the site several times, often on Sundays and once on a holiday and found only non-english speaking Hispanics and many vehicles with out- of-state plates. Only the ‘supervisors’ were Caucasian. The same company has recently completed several other housing projects the same way.
