It is the Congressman's responsibility to check with the contractor to make sure all workers are documented, particularly when he is making such a stink about this issue. If he did not, he was quite foolish.

It is the contractor's responsibility to not hire illeglas, for it is against the law.

It is not the Congressman's responsibility, or anyone's responsibility to check with the contractor. That is a personal choice. If the contractor were a legitimate licensed bussiness, he would not have illegals, just like he stated in the article.

It is not the Congressman's responsibility
As I (and I belive Miss Marple) am trying to stress: it might not be his 'responsibility' to check but you shouldn't go shooting your mouth off about something when you're likely to have profited from it. Its like Bill Clinton introducing a bill to ban interns from the WH as a superior could have sex with them.

Do you also think it is his job whenever he goes into a diner to ask the owner if all of his workers are legal? How about every single store the man goes to? How about airline workers who check his baggage on his way to and from D.C. Should he also ask the woman/men in a hospital if they are legals before they change his bedpans?
