RESTAURANT: Applebees - Montclair, CA
I have eaten there many times and spoke with the manager, telling him that I am making an effort to patronize businesses who do not hire illegal aliens. The manager told me that they check ID cards, green cards, and make them file I-9s. He cannot guarantee that someone might slip through with fraudulent documents. If they find out, that illegal will be gone - it is corporate policy. He told me they cannot risk facing the fine for hiring illegals. It seems like Applebees corporate execs get it.
Note: this seemed to work very well. As a customer, he wanted to continue having me come into his restaurant. He seemed to genuinely understand the concern. And, yes, is name was Jose.
You would be surprised how many legal immigrants from Mexico and other Hispanic countries are not happy about the illegals and are on our side.
That is every companies out and this is why ICE loses it's court cases. Any two-bit lawyer can get the employer off by saying the employer is not a counterfeit document expert and the employer had no way of knowing the docs were bad.
Until the FEDs come up with a quick and required way to check the authenticity of documents, employers will always get away with hiring illegals.
Hmmm, I wonder if the banker has the same problem as he approves loans? If not, why not?
