That's incorrect. We interview Hispanic women all the time (for
housekeeping openings -- their primary source of income, methinks), and
require that each applicant list their Social Security number on their
application.

There is a phone number to call to verify any SS number. If it's not
valid, the person at the other end tells us that "This person should
contact the Social Security Administration, since there is something wrong
with their number." They don't really care if it indicates that the
person is an illegal alien.

In a perfect world, they would send the gendarmes over to arrest the
illegal -- I would be happy to cooperate -- but they have ZERO interest in
doing this. And apparently ZERO contact with any law enforcement agency.

The Federal Government is screwed up far beyond what the average person on
the street can imagine.


You know Jay, you are under no obligation to call that number? Your
obligation is to check the IDs that the person you have offered a job gives
you when you complete the I9. And the burden of if they are real is would a
reasonable person believe these IDs are real.

Also, if you are calling on just the Hispanic applicants you are
discriminating.
