20 years ago, it was commonplace for me to have a client bring in his payroll for quarterly reports and to have a half-dozen Mexican names using the same SSN. And nobody did anything about it. That's not how it is today; the consequences to the employer are far too great. You know, computers.

You're a moron, Hugh. Small businesses, including almost ALL building contractors in many parts of our country, use illegals extensively. While prevelant, it is not yet almost ALL building contractors. It is a growing minority. Well it was, it is now shrinking slightly because the illegals are now going back, because of the economy. On a lot of crews, if you can't speak Spanish, you can't communicate with the rest of the crew! Only for contractors who intentially hire illegals, which is still a minority. Stone and tile, roofing, pavement, concrete - you name it, if it's hard work, it's ILLEGALS that are doing it. Small factories, piecework contractors, - all dominated by illegals. I'm in the business and it is not yet dominated by illegals, at least not in Georgia. That is if you mean a majority of workers are illegals is dominated. If you said the home building market, well you would have been right a few years ago. Now only day jobbers are dominated by illegals.
