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...
