    ICE cracks down on employers Huge jump in audits of El Paso

    ICE cracks down on employers
    Huge jump in audits of El Paso businesses
    By Robert Gray

    El Paso employers are being audited and fined at unprecedented levels, as they increasingly bear the brunt of the government’s latest illegal immigration enforcement efforts.

    Immigration and Customs Enforcement conducted 51 audits of El Paso employers last year, with several receiving stiff fines. The largest was $20,000, according to documents obtained by El Paso Inc. through a public information request.

    That compares to just eight audited in 2008. This year, there have been seven audits from January to mid-August.

    ICE withheld the names of local employers investigated, but El Paso Inc. was able to identify several employers fined by the agency. The businesses declined to comment for this story, citing fears of a re-audit.

    During an immigration audit, ICE agents inspect an organization’s Employment Eligibility Verification Forms, known as Form I-9s, to check for irregularities. All employers, no matter the size, must fill out and sign the document, which requires them to acknowledge, under penalty of perjury, that they examined documents that allow an employee to work.

    The employer can be fined for anything from a technical error to knowingly hiring unauthorized workers. For a paperwork violation, fines start at $110 and go up to $1,100 per Form I-9. Employers who knowingly hire unauthorized workers or who have repeated violations can be jailed or face fines as high as $16,000 per violation.

    The only solution to a mindless idiot is always CIR isn't it? It's the only thing they can say. This is exactly what needs to happen on a grand scale nationwide. Start this in every city and we will see a mass exodus back across the border and put millions of Americans back to work. The only thing we will lose is a bunch of future DemoRATS.

    It is another dog and pony show. With wide open borders employers will replace them with other illegal alien workers. If this administration and Congress grant amnesty there will be no such thing as an illegal alien because anyone crossing the border will be given a green card.....Gutierrez was asked on Fox this morning what would he tell those who illegally applied to come here if amnesty was granted to lawbreakers. He responded with another inane comment characteristic of pro open borders schumcks "They wouldn't care as they all are brothers and sisters" further proving this schumck has no respect for our laws, borders, sovereignty and the oath of office he took and the Constitution for which he swore to uphold and defend meaning the borders will never be secure. This is treason at it's highest...............

    Here's the fallacy with the I-9 audits. The US companies get fined and the illegal aliens are still here. The objective of US immigration law is to rid our country of the costly and destructive nuisance of illegal aliens. Yes, employers are complicit, but no more so than the government that a) lets illegal aliens in b) lets illegal aliens stay c) gives illegal aliens taxpayer funded benefits and d) lets them steal American Jobs and e) protects illegal alien wages.

    So, I THINK we should FINE the government and make it pay $1,000 a head per day for every illegal alien they let into the country, provided an education, protected with a stolen job, was arrested and released by ICE, arrested and released by Border Patrol and given so much as one cent of taxpayer money to do anything with here in the US whether it's to have a baby, buy food, pay rent, go to school, shop at Walmart, buy gas to drive to work at an illegal job, or anything else.

    What is the logic of patting yourself on the back for fining employers who hired the people the government wants to stay here and have a pathway to citizenship? What is the reasoning of blowing and going about an I-9 audit that does nothing to reduce illegal immigration, arrest and deport illegal aliens, or anything else that actually stops the problem?

    Seems to me the incoherency and inconsistency of government policies needs to end, the quagmire needs to be dried up, and until then EVERYONE including anyone working in the government which includes Congress and Courts along with the Executive Branch, and States and Local Governments who does anything at all to aid, abet or harbor an illegal alien is fined $1,000 per head per day until all illegal aliens are permanently removed from the United States.

    If there is no pain, there will be no gain. And if you read US immigration law carefully, you'll find that there is no exclusion for government employees, church members, 501 C 3 not-for-profits, Congresscritters, Presidents, Sheriffs, Governors, Police Chiefs, Mayors or anyone else from prosecution under USC Title 8, Chapter 12, .... Sections 1321 to 1324.
