had (and probably still has) illegal immigrants working for him.

It's much worse than that. My father used to own a lingerie
manufactory in Smog Angeles. He would hire as best he could from the
constantly churning labor pool moving back and forth between the
aerospace and the garment district. Of course, illegal aliens were
mixed in with the legal immigrants. It was actually fairly easy to
tell. At the time (about 50 years ago) he was faced with the problem
of how to deal with having as many as 10 individual workers using the
same identical social security number. So, he walked across the
street, where the offices of the Calif Unemployment Dept was located
and asked for help. He was told to do nothing, and to never ask a
worker to prove that they were legally in the USA. Huh? Apparently,
the privacy laws are more important than dealing with illegal aliens.
I verified this advice by independently asking the same questions. We
could not legally ask a worker to prove that they were in the USA
legally. When my father had a stroke and I temporarily took over the
business in 1986, nothing had changed. This worked out nicely for
employers, where this policy allows them the claim that they had no
way to know that they were hiring an illegal alien (i.e. plausible
denial).
Fortunately, this changed recently under Trump where it is now
possible to verify green cards and immigration status:

If Prez Trump still has illegal aliens on his payroll, he probably
didn't bother to check their status since E-Verify checks are
voluntary to employers.
