Should Business Hire Undocumented Workers?
1) What are the legal and ethical issues in this case?
The legal issues in this case are: there is anywhere from twelve to twenty million illegal immigrants residing in the United States illegally. As far as the ethical issues in this case, well there are so many issues I wouldn’t even know where to begin. The fact that any business would intentionally make their working environment and so poor knowing that only illegal immigrants would tolerate working there without reporting it to any agency or the legal system is beyond unethical! Now that the legal system only requires employers to use the “E-Verify” system rather than making any illegal immigrant/person provide hard copies of their citizenship. Proof of legal status can now be passed off with false names that are given to employers make our government act irresponsible which causes them to not act ethical. The information that the person provides the employer may check out in the system but in reality is not legit; and is often overlooked because it can be without consequences to the businesses. Any business that would “depress” wages so low that it causes the people who legally reside in the United States to take a huge decrease in pay because illegal immigrants that “check out” or not… are willing to work for a lot less than what the company previously paid out in salary by “overlooking” the fact that they are really just paying lower wages to undocumented workers and taking jobs from legal citizens is unethical and just bad business in respect to our US economy. In 1986 by the law allowing the proposed immigrants legal status in our country while promising that there would be tighter border patrol that would stop the flow of undocumented workers when in turn the illegal immigrant population rose from three million to twelve (or up to twenty) million is entirely unethical especially on our country’s law enforcement and laws as a whole. The federal government has acted unethical by not taking action to stem
