    Does no-one check the damn IDs, ffs? It’s a simple matter of typing some numbers into a computer.

    I don’t know about the U.S. but in the UK where I’m from, “illegally hiring a non-UK citizen” would be a criminal offence for the hiring company. How are they going to tax them?

        I get cash jobs like manual labor / agriculture, but where are these companies depositing these paychecks?
