And they accept the Mexican id as a legal form of id when carding people. And then they let the illegals drink and gamble. Should this be illegal. I was was told when I got hired that only legal forms of American government issued id were acceptable. Does anyone know about this subject and where I can find the laws regarding it?

I think that you are confusing two different legal issues and two different 'jurisdictions'. One jurisdiction is Federal and the other is State. Regarding "carding" foreign tourists prior to serving alcoholic beverages and/or allowing them to gamble is a "State’s jurisdiction”. Not all states have the same law with regard to the 'legal drinking age' and most states don’t even allow gambling at any age. Some states allow drinking as young as 18 years old, some require drinkers to be 21 years old. I think Nevada’s gambling age is 18, but it may be 21 now. Since foreign tourists aren't Americans and don't have American ID's, naturally, it is acceptable to use one's foreign ID for the purpose of 'age requirement'.
Regarding the employment of foreign workers, to avoid violating ‘Federal law ‘ by hiring an 'illegal immigrant', an employer is responsible to verify that the employee has the appropriate 'federally issued' documents proving one's legal status to obtain employment as a foreign worker.
Technically, this is exclusively a "Federal jurisdiction". However, due to the utter failure of the Federal government to enforce the existing illegal immigration laws already on the books, many States, counties and even cities are creating their own 'legal' methods to curb illegal immigration inside their jurisdiction.
If you were not required to show valid evidence of “legal status” to be legally employed, your employer is in violation of a Federal law and can be sent to jail. If you provided “counterfeit documents” for the purpose of obtaining employment illegally, then you are in violation of Federal law and will be arrested and promptly deported. At least that’s how its supposed to work on paper.
I recommend that foreign tourists visiting the U.S. neither gamble nor drink alcohol, but if they choose to do so it is their legal "right". As such, it is ridiculous to criticize the casinos and bars where such tourists choose to throw away their money.

Well, tourists go to casinos, and they may not have US ID.
However, I don't like the Mexican ID being allowed as ID in 'resident' type situations.

well to start things off thats a federal law...deffinetly check that out at FBI.gov or call your local field office and when the agent picks the phone up just say "law department"....ask the agent about that law...from my beliefs if the alien(illegal) does not have US id then you cant serve him to anything in a casino....ID is suppose to be strict in casinos what happened?!?!?

Casino operators are equal opportunity exploiters. They will steall your money no matter where you come from and laugh at all the same. They would never stop anyone at the door who would want to come in and lose their hard earned cash in their dishonest games. "come one, come all."
