State Immigration Laws
While small business does not support the intentional hiring of illegal aliens by any employer, laws that put small business owners in the position of being the enforcement agency for state immigration laws are not the answer. Some laws being pushed would put all of the burden of proof, recordkeeping and penalties for immigration compliance on employers. Employers that simply made a mistake in recordkeeping or accepted documents that appeared genuine but were falsified by the employee would be subject to penalties including criminal violations under some proposed laws.
NFIB does not support legislation that seeks to make employers do the job that government has been unable to do.
