Illegal Immigrants Trying to Circumvent System

Beginning in January, businesses could lose their licenses if they employ illegal immigrants in Arizona.

That has led many immigrants to use social security cards and drivers licenses to register as "self employed." They'll then enter into contracts with their current bosses.

"'If I cannot be your employee, then I will have to be your business partner.' And, as a business partner, you are not subjected to the requirements of I-9 Forms. ‘Because we're doing a business transaction,'" said Elias Bermudez, with Immigrants without Borders.

"'I'm going to mow your lawn for an X amount of money and I'm not your employee and I'm just going to go there a few days every month.' And that's a contract situation between businesses."

Bermudez doesn't think the plan will work, and that the county attorney and others will still arrest illegal immigrants.
