This story sicken's me, the Special Interest Groups and their allies Big Business and the corrupt Unions were able to get their way and keep the illegal aliens working for a little bit longer...They are hoping America will lose interest in the issue.


Government Halts Illegal Immigrant Employer Crackdown to Rework Rules
Sunday , November 25, 2007

--WASHINGTON —

The government says it will rewrite rules for penalizing employers of illegal immigrants to try to satisfy a federal judge in San Francisco who put the crackdown on hold.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer stopped the Bush administration last month from going ahead with enforcement of regulations requiring employers to fire workers if their Social Security numbers did not match records and the discrepancies could not be addressed in 90 days. In issuing the temporary injunction, the judge said the Social Security database contained errors that could have cost many legal workers their jobs, and the government did not properly study the effect of the rules on business.

Late Friday, Breyer agreed to a request from the administration to put the case on hold while it reworks the regulations — a process bound to put off enforcement until the spring. The judge stayed proceedings until March 24, when the government thought it could have new rules ready on how to enforce immigration laws in the workplace.

Business, labor and civil liberties groups had sued to stop the "no match" rules, arguing the plan would trap companies and workers in a costly bureaucratic nightmare.

In its motion, the administration acknowledged that the judge had found "serious questions on the merits" raised by the case. "A stay will prevent the waste of judicial resources in litigating over a rule that is in the process of being revised," the administration's brief said. "Defendants hope and anticipate that the amended rule will fully address the Court's concerns."

The plan is meant to expose illegal immigrants who get jobs by giving out fake Social Security numbers and penalize companies that employ them. Nothing in the brief suggested the government would ultimately back away from a "no match" plan as it looked for ways to make enforcement pass legal muster.

In September, a month after the plan was announced, the government had about 140,000 letters ready to be sent to employers, each identifying 10 or more employees with mismatches in their records. But the case stopped enforcement from proceeding. Breyer issued the injunction Oct. 10.

I can satisfy him -- by firing him, hiring someone competent to fill the empty position, and denying him any pension he might otherwise have earned. I would also get him a much-needed psychiatric evaluation, as he seems to have lost touch with reality.

That's the only way they are going to "satisfy" someone who seems to want to treat reconquistas with kid gloves, open arms, and showerings of gifts.

Revised Rule for Employers That Hire Immigrants
By JULIA PRESTON
The Bush administration will suspend its legal defense of a new rule issued in August to punish employers who hire illegal immigrants, conceding a hard-fought opening round in a court battle over a central measure in its strategy to curb illegal immigration, according to government papers filed late Friday in federal court.

Instead, the administration plans to revise the rule to try to meet concerns raised by a federal judge and issue it again by late March, hoping to pass court scrutiny on the second try. The rule would have forced employers to fire workers within 90 days if their Social Security information could not be verified.

The government’s proposal was a response to an indefinite delay to the rule ordered Oct. 10 by the judge, Charles R. Breyer of Federal District Court in San Francisco. Judge Breyer found that the government had failed to follow proper procedures in issuing the rule and that it should have completed a survey of its impact on small business.

He also found that the Social Security database the government would use to verify workers’ status was full of errors, so the rule could lead to the dismissal of many thousands of workers who were American citizens or legal immigrants.

In a four-page motion filed Friday, the government, without acknowledging any flaws in the original rule, asked Judge Breyer to suspend the case so the Department of Homeland Security could rewrite the rule and conduct the small-business survey, which it expects to do by March 24. The government said that it wanted to “prevent the waste of judicial resourcesâ€

Why do we even hold elections in this country if big business and co-operations are going to run things? This is really dumb. Those who are suppose to make the laws in this country are a sorry bunch. Its is way past time to wipe the slate clean of the lott of them. Our government leaders are about as corrupt as those in Mexico. This no match program needs to go forward without permission of some liberal judge who has received a pay off to stop it. This just goes to show that money rules when it comes to the U.S. government. WHY HOLD ELECTIONS AT ALL? This is to much.

It sounds to me like it was something that might actually have worked - and that scared them.

Yes, big business runs our government - they also control the election through the so-called party system and the electronic voting machines.

We have to continue to fight for our government - but we have to beat them in other ways. Remember, it is our money that is financing this - we are paying for it - and we continue on ----
