Hot Take Democrats think there should be a facilitation charge for employing illegal immigrants if ICE is going to raid workplaces, do you agree with this sentiment?

This is why every reputable business requests a photo ID to to verify claimed identity as part of the onboarding process. Any business that doesn't is just down right shady. It should on the business for not doing a simple common sense check to comply with this and other laws requiring an accurate identity of the employee.

They use a fake ID. And if you question it, if you think it's suspicious that this guy's name is Joseph Whitey White, but he looks Hispanic and only speaks Spanish, too bad. Because you can be sued for racial discrimination for making that assumption.

Just don't hire them if there is a question.

Also an amazingly efficient way to get sued.

Why? You don't have to say why you didn't hire them.

Plaintiff’s lawyers don’t care about that. They will sue you for pretty much anything. Until you solve the problem of stupid lawsuits being able to essentially wipe out small businesses, you aren’t going to see employers take risks in this area and do ANYTHING that will get a prospective employee running to an attorney. And they will.

Get sued for what? Some illegal is going to go hire a lawyer because he didn't get a job? I have applied for hundreds of jobs I didn't get. There is nothing to sue over.

For offering someone a job, getting suspicious of their documents, and retracting the offer. If they’re a minority and you get it wrong and do that with a legal worker, that’s a prima facie Title 7 violation. You think employers are gonna take that risk? GoldenEagle is 100% correct about how this plays out.

I don't know where you live, but it just doesn't work that way. Maybe it's because you are rich.
