Reply #94: Yup, as an employer I have personal experience with phony docs [View All]

Anyone who says 'go after the employers!!111!!11" obviously hasn't been one, dealing with phony documents.

Many illegals have perfectly legal SS#'s that are being used until they are discovered. That 14 yr old's SS# won't show up as a problem until he himself goes to work. So 12 people are going to be working illegally, even though their employers may have done everything they can to prevent hiring "illegals" because their employees have a legal SS#.

The underground for illegal docs in immigrant communities is large, extensive, breathtakingly proficient and lucrative. Its not going away anytime soon.

And employers have no way to penetrate it. We can only take the docs at face value, especially if all verification methods at our disposal are flawed (because they inherently assume anyone using that # is legal).
