Shareholders hold businesses to the fire for profits. In most cases, shareholders either don't know or don't care what, where and how they do business as long as the "if" involves an increase in dividends.

It's harsh but true.

Businesses are also hamstrung. Say you open a house cleaning service that employs men and women who clean peoples' homes. What do you think would happen if you describe yourself as "...hiring Americans only." Or "Hiring legal citizens only."

I'm not certain, but I wouldn't doubt you'd get sued for some type of job and/or hiring discrimination.
