Maybe you are right and maybe not; but that still does not answer the question, "why should business owners be responsible to ensure anyone's residency status?"

Here is why: if you are hiring illegals then you are running a criminal operation. So if you want to be a criminal ring leader then by all means sleep well at night.

..."why should business owners be responsible to ensure anyone's residency status?" Here is why: if you are hiring illegals then you are running a criminal operation. So if you want to be a criminal ring leader then by all means sleep well at night.

So your logic would dictate that if an employee lost his license without your knowledge and drove a company truck, you would be operating a criminal ring?

By putting the responsibility (and punishments) on the employer, government is increasing barriers to doing business in this country. I thought conservatives were opposed to government mandates on businesses.

So how many illegals do you hire? Do you run a criminal operation?

Even with the gate closed, amnesty is suicide for the GOP, conservatism, and the country.

Rand’s is an important niche vote, but I don’t want him anywhere near the VP or presidency.

not really any of your business, but I have never hired one.

The problem with the logic you are expressing is it leads to this:

Now UPS and FEDEX are criminal organizations also.
