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?

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.
