QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 04:43 PM) Again, what should Swift have done to avoid this? What is your company doing to make certain they don't fall victim? We ask for social security cards and driver's license or passport. If someone is proven to be using forged documents, should the employer be fined? This point can be asked about resumes in general. How do potential employers verify information on prospective employees? There are various programs that potential employers could use, one like "Lexis-Nexus" gives a score based on the information in national databases matched with information provided, i.e. ss#, address, license, and name. This could be costly to small businesses (although outsourcing at low prices I'm sure would be viable and the fewer employees the fewer queries needed) but larger 9 billion dollar companies should have to implement such things. It is unforgivable the level of violation Swift had reached with 40% illegals. Ironically, THIS is how the government knows where to show up when you're car is damaged in a police chase (see other thread)

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 13, 2006 -> 04:30 PM) So, a couple other interesting notes on these raids...first, the United Food and Commercial Workers union (UCFW) seems pretty unhappy about them, because the raids may have also scooped up some actually legal workers who were members of that union. The Salt Lake Tribune also has an interesting story on a couple of the families involved in the raid, with the interesting allegation that the DHS basically organized the raid and which people it targeted based on the appearance of the people...if you had a lighter skin tone, you went back to work. I had a great point to make.... and was all set to use google images... I dare anyone to type "white guy" into google images.... let me know how that goes for you

it depends on the situation, they can be. Sorry to burst your arguement.

But the poor grades he brought home on his report card Monday led his parents to warn him to focus on school. RIP yeah, that's right down the road from me.... very sad.

Two questions are raised one in the article and one by rex: what happens to the children? what happens to a company that "doesn't condone" a practice that has a 40% saturation rate in it's work force. no, silly, the kids can't work in their parents place... fine the company whatever it takes to ensure the children either are shipped home to the native countries or if the children can provide documentation that they're citizens, then they can stay and parents can apply for temporary work permits after they have background checks.

why are john kerry and larry king in your signature with jose canseco, joe crede and frank thomas?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 11:39 PM) I was trying to quote your assburning chip is this guy's territory. The comment I was thinking would have to be deleted because it may be a personal attack. So I edited it. Ahhh s***, maybe it wasn't that funny after all. I see. I got banned for a similar joke once

I still don't get it. It was an alien anal probe joke..not a gay joke.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 11:34 PM) Thank you. I think that would be worth the $$ for the peace of mind. The only drawback is that you'll have to contact the credit agencies before you make any new credit lines... i.e. house, car, credit card, maybe cell phone services.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 12, 2006 -> 11:34 PM) Yeah, that's the chip. Looks like they already got you. Wrong Chip the ass burning chip is this guy's territory.

Tex, did this scam email have anything to do with "iagra-vey?"

Oh I can't wait to show this to miss PA. (she's smoke any of you on this subject) Talking to people about Nutrition is like doing a google search on the subject. There's a ton of responses and most of them are s***. Ultimately, it's nearly impossible to find "the right answer" and no one listens to him or her anyway.

damn that sucks.... Why don't people get REAL JOBS!!!

What Balta is getting at is these companies need YOU and not the other way around. Tell them the names of the other Honda dealers in town and say "I know what car I want and I know what other dealers are going to give me, give me your best price"
