Since this is a senior communities, our contractors needs to be held to a high standard. That should include background checks on all workers entering The Villages.

You mean like the market sell off could have been avoided. I am more worried about how a recession will impact my retirement then maybe some gang banger will come to the pool.

Oh boy, horrible look.

Are you worried there are unsavory types working labor jobs in FL? (People who do these jobs aren't generally the country club set.)

The only concern is that hiring gangbangers is not a safe practice for the employer or the community. Not sure how you would prevent that though. Maybe if there was a question on the employment application: Are you in a gang? Yes/No

Perhaps if e-Verify was actually used properly.....

E-Verify is not a system all employers use or are they required to use. If the government made E-Verify mandatory for ALL companies to use and this individual was still working, then yes you could say E-Verify wasn’t used properly.

All contractors required to be registered with TV, showing proof of having a driver's license, current tags, maybe even insurance like workman's comp.
Don't just flag-thru anyone with a truck or trailer.

I saw a truck in my neighborhood doing work. Colorado plates, 5 years expired.
That means no car/truck insurance, probably no FL driver's license, probably paying no taxes, definitely not a licensed contractor with insurance.
and we welcome them ?

The good news is that he was caught.

I guess the real question is this: Was she actually truthful about this? What did she offer as proof?

Given the number of adult children who move in with Mom and Dad, or Memaw and Papa, who end up in the back of a sheriff's car, maybe they should be background checked as well.

How did the phone call with the Sheriff go when you reported this?

[Signxsignx]

Could possibly be TV knew of his connections, and then alerted immigration on where to find him! Smart move rather than to not hire him and let him go into hiding

If accurate then yes, good riddance.

However as post #29 points out, the chance of encountering a random contractor who is a member of MS-13 and who was involved in a gang murder ten years ago is much less than encountering a child/grandchild with drug, alcohol, or anger-management issues.

Who is going to stop every truck with a trailer to check for a driver's license, current tags, insurance, and workman's comp? Do you check just the driver or all the passengers as well? Where would you put these checkpoints? How do you justify putting up Villages checkpoints on public roads?

Better yet, now they have to be Florida plates and FL driver's licenses and provide proof of taxes as well????

Exactly, let's just "wait and see" if someone gets attacked.
