Yet if you look at the bill you will see that this is not the case. The bill offers employers two options. On the one hand. they do not have to verify the employment status of job applicants. But if they are cited for having knowingly hired an illegal alien. then they must obtain verification of employment status from prospective employees. On the other hand. if an employer voluntarily opts to verify the employment status of prospective employees. the employer must do so for all potential employees. Failure to do that would open an employer to a legitimate charge of discrimination against nonforeignlooking workers.
