Poll: Should employers enforce immigration law?
July 22nd, 2008, 12:57 pm · 1 Comment · posted by Erin Carlyle
I read an editorial today that those of you concerned about illegal immigration might find interesting.

Yes, it’s from the New York Times (insert griping about the liberal main-stream media here), but it’s on a topic that every person who owns a business — or just works for one — should care about: the role of business in immigration reform.

According to this writer, employers have a vested interest in immigration reform — but not the kind that would lock down our borders and keep undocumented workers out.

No, employers would benefit by making sure that those who are here illegally stay.

After all, most of the estimated 12 million undocumented workers in the U.S. are here precisely because they are working. And that, according to the editorial, gives businesses a reason to keep them.

Plus, tough penalties for companies who hire illegal immigrants aren’t fair, since anti-discrimination laws prevent companies from scrutinizing their workers, the writer argues.

Part of submitting information by law to E-verify; then ICE, Social Security, FBI, CIA, IRS, Criminal services, Immigration Service are check for status.

No information should not mean clear let them work - Employment has to cleared, first: even for the mowing illegals at the bank
