Working Illegally
I know someone that is from Canada, living in the States, and a company hired them to work, a huge company. They don't have real social security numbers, the company provided them "a way around". Can I turn the company in or have anything done about it?

Turning in the company (if it actually generated any results) would lead to an investigation of the hired employees, which would lead to the person being let go to limit liability.
Which would screw with this persons job.
Don't meddle, regardless.

Why in Gods name is this even your business?
Why would you be so petty and sad of a person to turn someone in who is working and screw with someone's job?
Heres a life lesson for you. This person, is working. Working helps them support themselves. Its possible you are wrong, and they are working legally, in which case you are just a petty human being. Its also possible you are right, and they are working illegally, in which case you have absolutely no business interfering with someone else's job.
Do not screw with someones life, especially someone's job. I dont care if you think you have a good reason. THERE ARE NO GOOD REASONS FOR MESSING WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S LIVELIHOOD! It makes you a terrible person.

Canadians often don't require visas or American SSNs to work in the states. We have a Canadian SIN number which is considered valid when we work in the states as NAFTA professionals. They only have to apply.
I would seriously suggest you double-check your details before walking into a police station. Canadians working in the states, and Americans working and Canada are covered by the North American Free Trade Agreement and it has been made reasonably simple for them to do. Although a company might have found a 'way around' some of the paperwork, unless someone has told you flat out that these people are working illegally, I would bet they are fine. Why would a really big company take a risk when the paperwork to bring in a Canadian worker is relatively straightforward and only costs $60?

walk into a police station, tell them what's going on, and they should steer you in the right direction. i dont have a phone number off the top of my head that you can call, but the police should definitely be able to help you out.
