I don't think it's the employer's legal duty to verify the validity of the SSN, just that it is provided. That kind of makes sense but it's a shame we have no system to actually validate that. It's probably on purpose so we can have immigration and workers for the jobs American's don't want to do but not seem like we're pro immigration on the political front
- autoexec 4y agoI don't think it's unreasonable to expect employers to not hire tens or hundreds of people using identical names and social security numbers. If it can be shown that an employer knew, or reasonably should have known, that they were employing illegal immigrants we should be throwing the book at them with full force. There are no jobs that Americans don't want to do. There are only jobs that Americans don't want to do at exploitative wages.
- pwillia7 4y agoI didn't mean morally -- I meant legally they do not have to verify the authenticity of the numbers. And I agree with you about the exploitative wages mostly, but I don't know what to do about it. So we pay real wages to migrant farm workers -- Even if we double subsidies for corn and whatnot, beef now costs 3X at the supermarket. In Texas, 1 in 5 children are hungry every day[1]. How do you do it so that more children aren't made less food safe and you don't cause riots/social unrest from exploding inflation? Sigh.... I wish we could at least all work on the problems instead of all the sloganeering always going on. Not to say you're doing that, it just feels like we can never have any kind of real conversation about what to do anymore -- Maybe it's just that no one is driving the bus anymore. Have a good day!
