[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] It's illegal to require or check for a green card. The list of documents you can ask for is very specific, and there are many people with temporary status and permission to work in the USA. Discriminating against them is illegal. [/quote] I can’t speak to hiring discrimination laws, but my understanding from friends in real estate is that construction workers that have work permits but not permanent status are refusing to work in DC because of the risk of arrest and deportation. [/quote] Yes, or even just arrest and detainment. Even if you eventually make it back to your family it’s pretty traumatic. My point is that people who say that they check to see if workers have green cards, are either lying or breaking the law. Even employers who are careful to follow the law will likely have employees who legal temporary status and permission to work, and that people in that category have reason to be afraid.[/quote]
