  Only if they worked physically in the US. these people work offshore for US companies.

    Who pays them?

      I’m guessing here but based on how I’ve done international contracts… The US-based company pays the not us-based company, and that not US-based company pays the employees. The not US-based company is responsible for ensuring that the employee can legally work in the country that they are physically in. And since that country is not America, they don’t need an American green card.

        All perfectly legal (unless sanctions forbid it).

        But in that case they wouldn’t need any fake IDs.
