First you said an employer has to PROVE an employee is legal and you pointed to the I-9 form
There is nothing in the I-9 or any law or requirement for an employer to have to prove anything. I pointed that out in my post #39
Then you come back with the employer has to verifying the documents appear genuine. That in no way is proof of anything nor is it proof the person is legal or illegal.

So in closing your I-9 form is useless and an employer has to PROVE nothing. Hell illegals get drivers licenses these days, where is the proof they have to show they are legal?
The IRS disagrees with you:
From the I-9 from
What Is the Purpose of This Form?
Employers must complete Form I-9 to document verification of the identity and employment authorization of each new
employee (both citizen and noncitizen) hired after November 6, 1986, to work in the United States.
Form I-9 is made up of three sections. Employers may be fined if the form is not complete. Employers are responsible for
retaining completed forms.
So they have to complete the form or face a penalty. That constitutes a legal requirement. If a person is here illegally they don't have the proper documents to meet the requirements of the form. The person can't work if they don't supply the documents. SOOO call it what you want but it is a requirement to verify a person's legal status in the country.
