Applications typically warn you that if you falsify information on the application you may be terminated. Even absent such a notice, falsification of an application is usually fair grounds for termination.

What can an employer do about an employee who lied about being a legal citizen?
Employers typically specify on an employment application that any falsification on the application is terms for dismissal if and when discovered. Therefore, the employer is certainly within reason to terminate the employee (although likely the employment was at-will and the employer may have terminated at any time, for any or no reason). Employers are required and responsible for submitting completed I-9s for each individual in their employ. An I-9 has very specific requirements to demonstrate work eligibility in the United States. Hopefully this employer uncovered the employee's falsification during the I-9 process. The employer should involve an attorney to ensure their legal rights are protected, as failure to properly complete an I-9 subjects the business to penalties. Additionally, citizenship is a protected class under discrimination law (obviously illegal immigrants are not protected) and if the employee is otherwise legally able to work in the United States any action against them may result in a claim - especially if the hiring process itself was flawed.
Can legal action be taken against the employer that gives a bad reference?
The only things that a previous employer can say are #1- if you are re-hirable and #2 - what dates you were employed there. The problem is that in order to take legal action you have to be able to 100% PROVE that the previous employer said more than that. An employer can give a negative reference for a former employee if they wish to, but they are not required to. The employer may be exposed to liability, or at least to the expense and distraction of a lawsuit, if it gives such a reference. The former employee may allege that the information provided was false or misleading. The burden of proof would be on the employee to prove what the employer said and how it was defamatory. Truth is a defense to the employer. For this reason, many employers have policies prohibiting giving any reference, positive or negative, and will only confirm the dates of your employment and last title. Some employers may disclose if you are re-hirable, but a non-answer or negative answer to this question could again expose the employer to claims.
Can an employer force you to purchase life insurance?
Not at all. Your employer can insist you to be be part of a lift policy where he bears 50% of the premia and you pay the remainder.As this is for future provision of the employee, it's upto him to decide further course of action.
Will workers' compensation cover employees that are getting paid in cash and has no social security number?
Yes, believe it or not, it will. The law on workers compensation places the responsibility on the employer, not the employee. The fact that the employer is behaving illegally does not absolve him from his legal responsibilities. If an employee is hurt on the job, he is entitled to workers comp. Now the insurance may not pay, but the employer must. If the employer does not pay a frequent course of action is for the state to pay and fine the employer for far more than the cost of the medical treatment.
