Ie, insteadof &amp;lt;Do you have work authorization?&amp;gt; as the first question  [no less], it need be enforceably ILLEGAL to try fish info on it.&lt;p&gt;In practice that can&amp;#x27;t be fully done without also blinding a lot of other things. but having Single Market enforced by law  certainly will reduce the  paygap found today in equal lvl-to-lvl comparisons (top x% vs top x%; differing only in cardholding).&lt;p&gt;re &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;vent&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot; &amp;quot;&lt;i&gt;disrespectful&lt;/i&gt;&amp;quot;; I contend that those folks actually trying to be assholes are Americans.

It&amp;#x27;s not a healthy way to view this country or their coworkers. They take the &amp;quot;nation of immigrants&amp;quot; line too far and act as if their American coworkers are basically their inferiors but who were lucky enough to happen to have citizenship.
