More Immigration Madness

Suppose you are hiring. Suppose someone applies with a Social Security number and everything. Suppose you suspect she might be illegal. What do you do? You cannot check her out as you are not permitted to inquire on ones immigration status. You cannot NOT hire her based on your suspicion as that would be discrimination.

At this point I suppose you flip a coin. Heads you hire her, uncertain of her status, and hope like hell your suspicions are unfounded. Tails you don't hire her and hope like hell the ACLU isn't knocking at your door the next day slapping you with a discrimination suit.

So the coin comes up heads. You hire her. Later you discover that she is indeed illegal and that she had committed Social Security fraud to convince you to hire her.

So you flip the coin again. Heads you continue employing her, knowingly breaking the law yourself, but also knowing that no one will enforce that law. After all, it hasn't been enforced for about 3 administrations now. Tails you show some integrity, disregard the fact the authorities disregard the law, follow the law, and fire her. And again hope like hell the ACLU doesn't show up.

Then suppose all throughout this time liberal progressives have been running your state into the ground morally, culturally, and financially. So you run for governor because no one else who wants to save your state has the money to compete against said liberal progressives. Now suddenly you are under fire for how those coin flips turned out.

But go through those coin flips scenarios again with opposite results, and you will STILL be under fire.

So, what exactly would the liberal progressives have you do? And if you can figure it out, give Meg Whitman a call so she knows the next time. I guess she should have just turned the girl in when she became aware of her status so the feds could find her another job with someone who didn't know.

    I think people should do some checking, even after hiring a person. That's why there's a three month or 90 day trial period in the workplace. Find out discreetly, and if you don't like the person, don't renew the contract or fire this person.

    You can never be too careful these days.

  2. Just so you are aware, PWC passed an immigration law recently. It's more strict than Arizona's and it's receiving national recognition as the front of the immigration wars.

    They just need to have some real detailed background checks.

  3. correction, that law was passed in 2008 for 7 months or so. Then the Arizona immigration law came out. After forcing the legal residents to leave we were left with a huge economic loss in PWC.
