In 1996. Congress called for reduction in the number of documents. but 10 years later. the Government has yet to implement those regulations. As a result. document fraud and identity theft makes it easy for unscrupulous employers to look the other way and hire undocumented workers. Yet increasing penalties alone will not work because ambiguities in the law prevent employers from knowing what their obligations are with respect to their workforce. Until there is a way for employers to truly know whether their workforce is legal. it will be difficult for them to comply and difficult for the Government to prosecute those who fail to comply.
