Perhaps each State handles paperwork differently, but in Texas and in Pennsylvania, an employer requires two forms of ID when you are hired - if an employer purposely ignored the law and hired an illegal so he could pay less, or avoid unemployment insurance taxes or whatever, he is liable in this case. Anyone injured on your property can file a claim against you - without further information I would have to side with the courts on this one.
What's your take on this?

Agree...if the illegal defrauded the transmission shop by providing false documentation, he should be immediately deported without compensation (and in fact, if he's "illegal", he should be deported regardless, although maybe with whatever compensation he paid into)...however...my suspicion here is that the employer knew full well his employee was illegal. If the information bears that out, I certainly hope the employer is prosecuted as well as being held personally liable for any "compensation" for his worker...
