You can be respectful and still tell someone to bugger off without a warrant. You have not had much contact with cops have you? Pardon? You have? My my. Last I checked you're not required to answer questions without an attorney present. You're also not required to let your house or business be searched without a warrant or reasonable probable cause. Has something changed? OK I asked again. This is how it goes. Three federal agents walk in, show credentials and give you a list of the names of the people they suspect have fraudulent papers and ask for your copy of their employment records. So far so good. If you can't document due diligence you get charged right then. Done via E-Verify, apparently. So far so good. Once you show you did do all that was required they want to see the employees. One showed up, 3 jumped over the fence. Ok. They are called, one shows up. The feds aren't going to try and chase them. So far, so good. The guy that showed up told them there must be some horrible mistake. They said "Sure there was". Then they took his phony documents, told him if he wants to appeal he can go to the office downtown. At that point the guy left. Here's the problem. As soon as they identified he was carrying false papers, he would be arrested. Right then. No hesitation. Anything less would not be believable. The only thing I can think of is that the papers were fine or they thought they were fine, and lacking any other probable cause, he was told he could go downtown to retrieve them. Then the office people got the old "You were almost arrested, don't ever do it again" speech. This makes no sense. The company did everything that was required. The response to this should be a polite... "Whatever you say. Is there anything else? If not, we need to get back to work." When asked if they should pay the employees the money they were owed, the answer was "You can't, they don't have valid SS numbers. There is no way to properly report the income". For the three that jumped, sure. For the other, no way. If he was illegal and standing in front of the officers, he'd be in handcuffs. As I said, something must be missing. It started bordering on a Joseph Heller novel after that "You really need to check out your employees" "How do we check"? "The E Verify system" "But E Verify was wrong" Yes that happens a lot" "But that is all we have" "Yes ... and be more careful next time" ... "OK officers, You have a nice day now" and they leave. That is a silent raid. Here's your chance to do some pro bono work for some of those poor, illegal, tred upon, wet back, criminals you have such a bleading heart for. Trot on down to your closest INS office and give em a piece of your mind. piece of mind. or chunk of lip? |
