Is someone working in your house your responsability?

I recently had a question regarding… Well, instead of me telling you- here it is:

“I employ a cleaning lady and write a check to her cleaning business. As a private home owner am I required to verify immigration status?”

So what is the answer:

1. Check with your attorney for legal advice

What I “think” about this (this is just my opinion based on my research)

You hire a company to do a job. You are the customer and NOT the employer. The new immigration law applies to and is designed to regulate employment practices. So, don’t worry about it…

Am I wrong to think this way? Am I a part of the problem? If so, do I have the right to inquire about the status of a vendor’s employees?
