Of course.

    I know this would be a slap on the wrist but if this guy actually illegally entered the country and was employed there, that the company was breaking the law and should be investigated as well to determine the fines/possible criminal charges.

      Agreed. I’d go so far as to say the employer should be the only one on the hook in this situation, and the the immigrant should be considered a victim of exploitation and granted asylum.

          Because I could be an employer if I had some hussle, and I couldn’t spot a fake social security card to save my life. I believe the employer files the I-9, and if the gov says it’s fine, they are off the hook. That is why people say that illegal aliens pay taxes. Cause they often do, under someone elses social.

            No, that’s what e-verify is for. The only reason is because the law is explicitly racist and is meant to impress poor brown people and let white landowners have slaves.

              I don’t know the full details of that check, but I doubt it. The key peice where these checks fail is checking that the person standing in front of you is who they say they are. The person they claim to be will pass all the checks. Verification of identity mostly relies on photo ID, which isn’t all that hard to fake, or even to get legitimately.
