Man - what a hassle. Perhaps they could come up with a tattoo or something?

Reminds me - as a small business owner, I think it is this upcoming year that for any CUMULATIVE $600 or more spent I will need to fill our some tax form to send to the person/company/store and one to the gov’t. This includes all of those bits and pieces that add up at the hardware store, etc. I wonder if hotels count? I suppose so.

Just to clear things up as I understand them. The only affect the Beason-Hammond Act has on private business is that they must use e-verify on all their employees. If that business fails to do so, the enforcement mechanism is the suspension/revocation of the business license. Any private business may conduct everyday transactions with an illegal just like a citizen. The difference is that Decatur Utilities is owned by the City of Decatur, a political subdivision of the State of Alabama. Now I may be missing something or misinformed, but I think that is right.

Congress repealed the 1099 requirement that was in Obamacare; I think it was in the compromise legislation that extended the Bush tax cuts for two more years, happened at the end of last year.
