Letter of the law, or intent of the law?
Ah geez. The intent of construction barriers is to keep traffic away from construction woprkers keeping them safe - so why not make them out of reactive armor?
The intent of labor laws is to keep illegals out of the country. Labor law is outside the envelope. To take it to your logical conclusion is anyone not seemingly 3rd generation Amercian should NOT get a job.
The law says, check their ID's, I do. It doesn't say verify, scrutinized, erect some sort of litmus test, hire private investigators, because what we really mean is . . .
