This is what they need to do in CA.

Even though most of these contractee arrangements for big companies are actually legal, utilizing visas at least in SV (in ways they were never intended to be used)- the taxpayers pick up a lot of the tab for these sorts of arrangements.

Government arrests illegal immigrants at Wal-Mart stores

Federal officials arrested more than 300 illegal workers at 61 Wal-Mart stores across the country early Thursday morning and searched the Arkansas office of one of the retail chain's corporate executives, a federal official said.

The arrests stem from a November 1998 investigation done in conjunction with the Pennsylvania attorney general's office. That investigation also targeted contractors and subcontractors used by Wal-Mart to clean stores.

Employers are required to check forms known as I-9's, filled out by every new employee, and keep the forms for a specified period of time. An employer can face civil and criminal penalties for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants or failing to comply with the I-9 regulations.
