If you own a small business and you hire someone with bogus papers you will never find out. They fill out the W4, you make the tax payments every pay period. The IRS could tell you that the SSAN you are sending income tax and FICA payments on belongs to some dead guy in Cleveland, and not only are they getting tax payments from your landscaping firm in New York, there's a chicken packing plant in Alabama been sending taxes since 1998, an oil field truck driver in Montana since 2003, all to that SSAN number.
They could make up a number from whole cloth and you will not hear a peep out of the government as long as you send the taxes in on time.
Not all the illegals are picking crops or day labor construction for cash under the table. There is a big industry in providing them documents that look as good as anything put out by the GPO and will let them get "real" jobs.
