when i hire someone, they fill out the W4 form, then i pay them as well as their payroll taxes.
employers are not immigration agencies...
Recordkeeping Requirements
After the employee completes and signs the Form W-4, you must keep it in your records for at least 4 years (See Publication 15, (Circular E), Employer's Tax Guide)). This form serves as verification that you are withholding federal income tax according to the employee's instructions and needs to be available for inspection should the IRS ever request it. Form W-4 is still subject to review. You may be directed (in a written notice or in future published guidance) to send certain Forms W-4 to the IRS. You must be able to supply a hardcopy of an electronic Form W-4.

Ever hear of an I-9 form?
Employment Eligibility Verification
If you are not requiring them to do it, you are in violation of federal law already!
