The reason stolen identities are used is because our current processes to allow immigrants to work are purposely limited.
Allow any immigrant to declare themselves. Give them an immigrant specific id so that they can go to an employer and work legally while paying local, state, and federal taxes.
Keeping the system closed is what allows exploitation. Stolen identities are needed to work in the closed system else the boss needs to break the law, and plenty of employers do just that.
- jcims 8y agoNo argument from me, but we're switching topics from holding employers accountable for the identity of the people they hire.
- undersuit 8y agoI don't think I made any such switch. In fact by opening up and not artificially limiting supply of permits or immigrant work ids you massively reduce the need to hold employers accountable. Right now the employers are held accountable in many cases. They are the first line of defense to make sure someone we have decided is an illegal immigrant and not allowed to work in the US, doesn't work. We selectively enforce this behavior with laws that punish businesses that allow illegals to work.
