Well, why don't you explain to me how you can put somebody in jail for accepting a fake ID that looks good? ssa.gov If the soc. number is not valid, you don't need to go to step 2.

i don't know... you tell me.... what about selling liquor or cigarettes to minors with an 'id' that 'looks good' while i understand that there are some pretty 'good looking' fake id's out here.... you just simply put the onus on the employer to verify the fake ID and provide the mechanism to do that biometrics, whatever, i don't care how...you just tell the employer of the illegal that if he knowingly (and remember ignorance of the law is no excuse) hires an illegal, he may be looking at jail time... poof... the cost/benefit analysis suddenly changes in favor of compliance

Here's a guy who was strung up for something someone else did, and everyone involved acknowledged who did it. There are some weird laws out there. It seems that it is worse now for business owners to accidentally offend the environment than to intentionally offend the equal opportunity afforded by living under equally applied laws. As my wife said the other day - "it starts with, We the People - not We the Animals." Selective enforcement is a fact of life - not everyone can be caught. We should do what we can, but we need to get our priorities straight. The Over-Criminalization of Social and Economic Conduct heritage.org
