How can you find out if someone is illegal?

Answer:

Answer

It's easier to prove they ARE legal. There's not a database or list of names of illegal aliens anywhere. By US law, employees must present either a) a valid picure ID AND social security card or b) an Alien Registration card to be hired. There are counterfeit documents, but normally you can tell either a) the picture doesn't match or b) they look fake. If you've seen someone's ID and social security card, or Alien Registration card, there's a good chance they are legal.

If they're employed by a reputable firm with more than 100 employees, chances are they are legal.

Don't assume just because someone's English isn't perfect, that they are an illegal immigrant.
