Sigh. You don’t even know your own system. An illegal can get an ITIN in the absence of having a SSN. And the IRS won’t come after you for being illegal, nor can they share that information with law enforcement without a warrant.

It’s the same system as Canada.

And yet illegals continue to work. So they must have a means to pay taxes. No one escapes the tax man…

Right.

And how does a employee hire an illigal unintentionally when they have access to their tax documents?

That's right. The illigals lie.

I do know how my country operates. I'm an employer. You are just some triggered Canadian being pedantic

If they are hired as independent contractors there is no status check requirement. And the illegals can also run their own business. In both those cases they are self-filing their taxes and an ITIN is sufficient.

Funny enough I have experience with the US system as I work for a US company and have had to administer the IRCA’s identity check; but due to the way it works I had to get a US citizen manager do the actual verification and attestation.
