“This so-called legislation is just vote winning puffery: any person wishing to work in the US still has to comply with Federal immigration laws.
Thus it is a federal offense to employ someone who lacks the proper immigration status, just as it is an offense to gain employment for an illegal alien. Ignorance of the law is no defense.

In any case, how on earth can anyone this bull was aimed at, legal or illegal, gain employment if the businesses are being strangled by Murphy et al?”
