If they found out he's an illegal now, they could have found out 14 years ago when they hired him.
True.
But I'm still glad that they are checking for that now. I'm inclined to credit them for doing the right thing now and not dwell on what happened almost a generation ago.
Oh come on, face it, he's worked for them for 14 years, now he his having health problems and then suddently discover he's illegal????? Sure give them credit for it if you like but I think they are just doing whatever they can to save themselves the trouble of someone with kidney problems. They can fire him for being illegal, but they can't fire him for having kidney problems. What do you want to bet if he hadn't developed kidney problems they never would have "discovered" he's an illegal.
He's been on dialysis for 8 years.
I doubt this particular immigration sweep was an attempt to get rid of an expensive employee after all that time.
I figure it was a reaction to greater threats of penalty for employers who hire illegal aliens.
In other words, I take it as a good sign that calls for enforcement are having the desired effect. Businesses policing themselves to avoid fines or worse.
