No, it is not. You may call the police if you suspect they are illegals (it is still a crime to enter this country illegally).

It's never to late until the INS shows up. Sure, ask for their business license, their contracting license, their worker's comp insurance proof - they get asked for this stuff all the time, so they should bring it the next day. If you mean their green cards, that is a little more strange, but if you have a reason to doubt their status, it is fair to ask at any time. If they are here on a worker permit, they should have it on them in case they do have a run in with the INS - just like we keep our driver's licenses on us. Tell them your lawyer told you you need to get this information from them and see how they respond - they may be insulted, but if they won't produce something or start to demand money and say they won't be back - they are not legal.

Yes, that is illegal. Go to the Labor Board in your local area and report it. In all actuality, you are only required to work 8 hrs. a day and no more that 40 hrs. a week. Anything over that is suppose to be overtime. You are being taken advantage of by your boss, and the sooner you take care of this matter, the better off you will be.

The contractor should have a business license and insurance.
Most places require a permit from the Building Department. I think that the Building Department requires contractor's business license and insurance.
If there is no permit, you MAY have problems later. If someone gets injured at your home, I believe that you can be sued.

It is only too late after INS gets there because your neighbor called on you and then you pay for it.
Allways ask for legal status and proof BEFORE having work done, and if they can not provide it call INS on them.
Sorry little red, that is a generalization.
I am a hardcore Anti and my motive is strictly to fight off Reconquista.
I have a good job so I am not worried about the job market except for my children.
My true motives are to stop reconquista and drive the enemies of my country out by any means possible.
EDIT: WOW Nikki, little hate there?
It is funny the poster never mentioned Mexicans only illegals and you immediatly flip and start bashing American men.
And you wonder why people like me hate Mexicans and want them gone. They (and you) not only hate Americans and America, you don't even acknowledge the illegals of other races.
It is all about Mexico to you people and that is why you change people like me.
I used to not like illegals and want them all gone.
Now because of attitudes like yours, I don't like illegals, I want them all gone, But I hate Mexicans and am willing to see them recieve the worst treatment possible to get them gone.
Isn't your attitude doing wonderful things for your side of this argument?

Did you hire them? If so, you should have checked their papers first. If a contractor hired them, then you can talk to him directly, but you can't ask for papers unless the contract you signed says you can. Only the employer of the worker can ask for papers.

It's never too late. You cannot question workers who aren't working for you, until they begin.
If you don't find out if they're illegal blame yourself when they couldn't read English enough to operate the machinery or install things according to building codes, etc. safely. Then we're talking workman's compensation for Illegals? How about a law suit because they got hurt on your property?

You have a right to know if they are legal or criminal illegal aliens. If the latter, they may not be around to correct problems, should they arise, after the project is completed.
You really should have checked this out before hiring them.

No. Ask them or ask. If you're to shy, ask the company they work for. If they're illegal, Hire a legal crew (even check the new crew before they work on your house).
You want your house to be a safe place to live right? That would be bad if the house just randomly collapsed or if pipes got messed up.

For what reason do you need legal papers? If there are papers like that, you have a right to see them.

You shouldn't ask for their papers yourself, but you can convey to the contractor that you want legal workers working on your home. You should make sure that contractor is licensed and insured.
