One of my coworkers made a snide comment about undocumented workers. I reminded him that before I joined the company he was an undocumented worker.

His sister (company used to be owned by his family and he's the only family member still employed by us) was supposed to be "HR" for their business and never bothered to complete I9s on anyone. Their entire staff was technically undocumented!
