Corra realizes that the immigration issues is a very complex situation with legitimate views coming from different perspectives. Corra really never gets into the argument concerning measured efforts to legitimize undocumented workers or whether to increase efforts to further prevent illegal entry.

What Corra does know is that this crackdown will continue and not only will more Undocumented workers flee north of the border to Canada, but many more will be moving around within the United States. Common practice is for undocumented workers to establish identities through either stolen social security numbers or numbers purchased on the black market.

To remain compliant and to avoid crackdowns on your business, Corra recommends you run the Social Security Trace on all your employment candidates. The SSN Trace will not only verify that it is a real number, it will tell who it really belongs to and where the person has lived for the past number of years. Running a criminal background check is also very important.
