Because of the robust counterfeit ID industry and current Federal laws. we have many of these illegals moving into our country who are. in fact. carrying what appear to be legal credentials. Employers do not want that to happen. but the law actually punishes them if they are too diligent in inquiring about the legal status of job applicants. Current law has created an unwinnable Catch22 for employers. Most have no realistic way of ensuring their work force is entirely legal. A single Immigration and Naturalization Service raid. netting a handful of illegal workers. can scare and clean out thousands of workers in surrounding counties. It happened just a few weeks ago in the Georgia onion fields. The employers in such cases typically have complied with the law.
