Reasonable effort is probably the foundation for any action against property management. Just as how a liquor store operator is expected to at the very least have a basic knowledge of what identification should look like, they are not held responsible if some kid uses a very good fake ID to buy beer. If it is obviously fake, then they are.
I dont recall exactly where off hand, but there is an independent website as well as a link somewhere on the INS page where an employer can run a quick check on a social. The same could easily be used by landlords prior to drawing up a lease. This alone should sufficiently release them from any liability should contrary facts come to light in the future, as it is a reasonable amount of effort to verify status. But, if in the future the landlord ignored those new facts, they should then be responsible for a violation.

I know a woman who can't get a teaching certificate because she can't pass the background check. Why can't she pass the background check? She worked for a bar and sold liquor to a minor, who had falsified his birth certificate and had a VALID (at the time) State Driver's License. The charges were dropped but the fact that she was charged is enough to fail the check.
I almost choked over using the INS website to check a SSN. If the INS was allowed to do its job we wouldn't need laws like the ones that we are discussing. Once people start getting turned down for housing and the reason becomes known, how long to you suppose that site will be up?

According to legal experts, who had studied the Hazleton ordinance, it may be struck down by a court as it tended to create a new immigration regulatory regime independent from the federal system. A 1976 supreme court ruling says regulation of immigration is "unquestionably exclusively a federal power."

How am I, a landlord, supposed to verify the immigration status of my tenants? I have no authority to investigate their immigration status, under current federal law, right? I have to contract that out, at my own expense. They give me a SS#, what can I do with that besides make sure it has the requisite number of digits?

We are talking about "ILLEGALS" they have no rights in the US.
Capture all of the illegals and dump them over the boarder into Mexico which they came from.
Furthermore, Anyone who rents to them should go to jail-the property owner/operator.
Anyone hiring Illegals, should go to jail and their illegal workers sent back home-to Mexico.
These stupid "illegal rights groups" are lame. For "legal" immigrants-fine-help and support them all you want with YOUR money/time and effort-not my tax dollars
Again, Illegals have no rights and if they don't like it GO HOME!!!!!!!!!
