First off in wash at least ,it is illegal to hire anyone unless you have a ss number if it is valid who knows everyone I hire has to fill out a I-9 and a w-4 also I need copies of their S.S cards , D.L and their now if they are fake that is not my fault even the Border Patrol sometimes can not tell as for payroll for every employee I hire I have to pay L,I employment tax federal with- holding, medicare and S.S legal or not evryone has to pay unless you are paying under the table which would screw you out of a tax deduction for the record I have had more trouble with white people I have hire trying to work the system then with anyone else
