Nosy Poll: Ever have an Illegal Immigrant work for or with you ? - cbelt3 - 10-07-2010
Knowingly or Unknowingly ?
MW... well, the landscaper had this guy working for him who spoke no English at all. It was pretty clear. And there's a huge illegal population in the next town down the highway from us.

Nope. I rely on just me.

We have quite a few immigrant populations in Ma.
Different cities with differing and varying populations.
Way too easy to get fake documentation.
Even ICE can have a hard time .
Most have green and worker cards and temp documentations and extensions. Like taxes, the paperwork has gotten horribly murky, one almost needs a lawyer to know who is supposed to have what and is allowed to to or not do. Too many exceptions to rules, too.
I had one guy I'm fairly certain had fake documents, but on the advice of an attorney I was advised not to question the validity, as there are laws pertaining to discrimination surrounding questioning validities of documentation. It's safest to not ask nor tell.

An employer can't question the validity of documentation a worker presents.
As long as the worker has the minimum specified for the I-9, the employer has to take it.
Though some employers choose to cover their ass(ets) by using a middleman.
One of my former employers would not hire casual labor (landscapers, etc.) directly - they always went with an outside agency (e.g. 'Bob's Quality Temps')
More expensive, but it forces 'Bob' to deal with any eligibility issues that might later crop up...

You left out "Not knowingly" with no qualifier.

I worked with someone who was free lancing, however when he was offered a full time position they learned he had let his green card expire. But due to his being a Chinese citizen who was a student in the U.S. during the Tiananmen Square protests, he was granted some sort of special status and got a new green card no problems. Well, the company paid their lawyers to handle the red tape but it was pretty straight forward.

You forgot to include the following option:
Yes - but not before I went on CNN every night and demonized them.

Yes.
I worked with a bunch of Irish and English illegals in the 1980s.
edit: I worked *with* or *for* these people; I was a teen or young adult at the time

...which qualifies me to be governor of Kaleeforneeya!
