It's already the law.
This is why employers mandate I-9 forms as part of employment.
This is part of the larger indictment against Christine Chapman by the DoJ, who found she was falsifying employment verification documents and giving access to North Koreans in return for a portion of the embezzled sums.
Stories like this are also why there has been a major push for RTO.

- varispeed 2y agoIt's about investment funds and shareholders owning commercial property who push for RTO out of fear of their portfolio going down in value if people are not using the offices.
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> investment funds and shareholders owning commercial property Are you in San Francisco? This is a conspiracy theory I hear a lot in San Francisco.
- alephnerd 2y agoIt's a dumb conspiracy theory at the macro-scale, and the overlap between CBRE or JLL and a company's board is minimal
- JumpCrisscross 2y agoIt is, but I’m curious about why it’s so popular. Is it a Musk thing?
- alephnerd 2y agoIt's an HN+Reddit thing. The userbases overlap significantly now.
- consteval 2y agoTo be fair I think the only reason the conspiracy even exists is because, apparently, nobody knows what RTO is really about. IMO it's mostly just a power play and insecure executives, but they won't come out and say that of course. We're left to speculate, and naturally conspiracies thrive.

- JumpCrisscross 2y agoNone of these articles prove your argument.
- varispeed 2y agoDid you read them?
- JumpCrisscross 2y ago> already the law There is practically zero enforcement. Criminalise hiring illegal workers while stepping up enforcement and you dramatically reduce the value of illegal migration while shutting down large sections of the economy, thereby prompting supply-side inflation. We don’t do it because this is a politically convenient middle ground that keeps illegal labor in the system while segregating it from competing with most of us. (Put another way: we have a regulated and an unregulated labor market. We like the fruits from the latter.)
- MetaWhirledPeas 2y agoThis is the next key talking point for a winning candidate, and may be the ultimate solution to US immigration. It can and will gain popular support, but it will take someone sneaky enough to gain their party's support on other matters first; either after becoming the party's nominee or after being elected. Either one. (If you propose this after being elected you might only last one term though; it's a bit of a rug pull. Better to pull the rug out from under your party rather than the voters.)
