I hired a lady from Mexico to clerk in the office where I worked. I picked her because we had a lot of Spanish speakers in the company and she was fluent in both languages. She gave me a SS card and a green card, which I copied and put in a file.
I was a kid. I didn’t think anything of it.

Six months later she told me her papers were fake. She talked about how she was paying into SS out of every check and would never get credit for it. I was able to help her get her real green card. Don’t know how that would work these days.
