I have to take issue with the way that the anonymous poster views the bank's responsibility in the immigration issue. If, at anonymous's bank, they would not cash a check for the contractor and the "migrant worker" unless they had proof that the worker was legally able to work in the country, then the bank would need to implement this documentation proof in any case that they would cash a check for a non-customer. Doing otherwise would make anon guilty of profiling. Anon doesn't have any more reason to believe that a Mexican worker trying to cash his construction payroll check is any more illegal than the a white male who is trying to cash his check from the convenient store across the street who banks with you. As I stated earlier in the thread, that white male might be here illegally from some European country.
