- erichocean 7y agoUnlikely, California is a "Sanctuary State" and essentially has no enforcement of state (or federal) laws governing "illegal" employment. If anything, they consider it to be a good thing.
- antropofagico 7y agoEven though California is much more lax on immigration, undocumented immigrants that work here still work "illegally". And I-9 Audits are conducted by ICE, not California. Like SpicyLemonZest said, it sounds extremely unlikely that Uber and Lyft, being public, would risk filing fraudulent I-9s.
- SpicyLemonZest 7y agoSure, but I can't imagine Uber and Lyft would file fraudulent I-9s whether or not California cares.
- dmode 7y agoWhy would state enforce a federal employment requirement ?
- URSpider94 7y agoThat is grossly untrue. Federal authorities can and do take enforcement actions in CA, they just won’t get support from the state or localities.
- URSpider94 7y agoYes, it will mean that all drivers can be verified as having work authorization in the USA.
