Is someone working in your house your responsibility?

I recently had a question regarding… Well, instead of me telling you- here it is:

"I employ a cleaning lady and write a check to her cleaning business. As a private home owner am I required to verify immigration status?"

So what is the answer: Check with your attorney for legal advice

What I "think" about this (this is just my opinion based on my research)

You hire a company to do a job.  You are the customer and NOT the employer and the new immigration law applies to employment practices.  So, don't worry about it…

Am I wrong to think this way? Am I a part of the problem?  If so, do I have the right to inquire about the status of a vendor's employees?
