With the federal government about to revise its policy on illegal immigrants, I thought I would post three links to stories about states who have recently imposed tough new laws regarding hiring illegal immigrants. Of course, most are mandating the E-Verify or the I-9 to ascertain if a job applicant is eligible to be employed in the United States. The Social Security Trace is also a background check that will verify the applicant’s social security number and help employers determine the eligibility of the candidate.
With E-Verify, the employer must first offer the job applicant the position. With the Social Security Trace, it can be conducted for pre-employment screening.
Here is one article I wrote, entitled “Georgia’s Illegal Immigration Reform and Enforcement Act Soon to Take Effect.” Be advised that Alabama and New Jersey have recently passed similar laws. In the State of Arizona, the Legal Arizona Workers Act has been on the books since 2007 and upheld by the United States Supreme Court.
