Can all companies contracting for such labor be responsible for ensuring that all of its suppliers employ persons of legal status? Such a requirement is unrealistic and unfairly penalizes employers. There exists somewhat of a defense for these companies. a "knowing" standard. but what concerned me most was how a company could defend itself against accusations that it knew that its supplier employed illegal immigrants. With the understanding that the original language applied to all employers. the construction industry nevertheless represents a good example of how unworkable these provisions are. The construction industry is a system which includes general or prime contractors with subcontractors ranging from plumbing to roofing to electrical specialty contractors.
