Businesses Lose Interest In Illegal Immigration

PHOENIX -- Arizona businesses seem to be losing interest in illegal immigration issues.

Public Opinion Research recently asked a sample of state businesses how critical the illegal immigration issue is to their business.

"What we found out was that only 10 percent said that it is critical," said researcher Mike O'Neil.

Another 14 percent said immigration issues are "very important," while 56 percent said they were not important.

About 200 of 3,000 Arizona small businesses contacted responded to the Arizona Economic Indicators survey.

Three-quarters of the respondents said Arizona's employers sanctions law -- which imposes tough penalties on employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants -- has had little effect on their businesses.

"Three out of four Arizona businesses said it's having no effect whatsoever," O'Neil said. "The remainder, which was a relatively modest number, 25 percent, was divided equally among those who said it's had a positive and a negative effect."

O'Neil said the law continues to go through a "shake down" period in which employers are discovering that the law's reach is limited and has neither a positive nor negative impact.

O'Neil added that it's possible small businesses are more preoccupied with the economy and that interest in immigration could shift, once the economy starts to recover.

Knowingly hiring (unless you are giving them SSNs) is going to be a tough case to prove. Since E-Verify is not mandatory, all these business owners need to say is they are not document experts. How are they supposed to know that the identity presented is not a fraudulent identity?

The thing is is that if a business just poses to be legit that is their excuse! Anyone that actually tries to verify Id its not expensive or difficult process! They are just full of it to save their butts over modern day slavery!

They are not likely to know! And that's the way they want to keep it! They want to continue to play both hands. One hand is they continue to hire that cheap illegal invader labor. On the other hand, they want to continue to claim they "didn't know the documents were fradulent" when they get caught with invaders on their payroll.

Otherwise, every single business would be lining up to use E-Verify. It's cheap, easy, efficient and it works! The only reason I could think of to oppose E-Verify was if you were not interested in denying illegal invaders the opportunity to seek employment.
