> Workers provide fake social security numbers that the CAFO is under no obligation to thoroughly vet. AFAIK unless something has changed in the past few years, it is worse than that. It is illegal for employers to challenge documention that is at surface level in order. Source: a friend that is a resturant owner told me that if a dishwasher applied for a job using suspicious but superficially consistent documents with all the blanks filled in, he could be penalized for asking for further proof. He knew he had illegals working for him, but had a file drawer full of correct documentation in case the INS came calling.

Who is going to wash dishes for $x an hour and not complain? In US that's slave wages. So every once and a while they do a little raid here and there but otherwise close both eyes and ears. Good for them, good for USA.

FWIW, I believe business owners can opt into eVerify now and it wouldn’t be illegal to deny workers on the basis of an eVerify failure. https://www.greenindustrypros.com/business/article/12121235/landscape-companies-can-use-everify https://www.greenindustrypros.com/business/article/12121235/... Of course outside of the 19 states where eVerify is required, you’re hurting your bottom line by opting into the program. Not only are you shrinking your labor pool but you have to go through extra steps even to hire a legal worker.
