For example. the employer can let the applicant know that it intends to verify the applicants eligibility and will fire the person if it turns out the person is illegal. However. the employer cannot demand that the applicant produce additional or specific documents once the applicant has produced an authenticlooking document. That is the fundamental issue. Otherwise. if we were to allow the employer to demand anything he wanted. it would end up with situations as I mentioned where employers demand green cards from Puerto Ricans. Under our current law these Puerto Rican victims have a remedy. Under section 117 they are out of luck.
