Hey, I get it. You're a socialist. You want a "fair wage" (which means whatever wage makes you feel good.) You want the govt to step in and make sure the stupid peons out there are taken care of by big brother.

I deal with adults, not kids. And I have enough respect for human beings that I don't think they need to be protected from me offering them a job by the govt.

But there will always be guys who think some people deserve a free ride. You're one of them.

While I may wish business was more diligent in checking the status of folks, if the ruleset doesn't include a check than I cannot very well expect a business to conduct that check voluntarily.

It is unfortunate that business needs the government to tell them to check the status of folks but that is the environment we live in now.
Its unfortunate that some people feel the need to tell me who I can and cannot hire, based on where their momma plopped them out. Its especially sad that these same people complain about the govt telling them what to do.

I know a lot of people want the government to step in and protect them from competition, but the true story is that you won't be.
