Thread: No Match Letter Ruling Coming Soon?

The DHS attempt to apply pressure on employers having numerous workers with mismatched names and numbers is still in limbo.

A judge (can someone remember who?) granted a temporary, ( one year) injuction against DHS in October of 2007.

The DHS wanted to attach a clarification to employers about what steps are required to resolve a mismatch letter. The mismatch letters are sent by the Social Security Administration, and have been sent for 30 years. Employers have been allowed to ignore the letters with no real penalties.

Is there someone here who can research the archives regarding this injuction? We need the judge's name and court location. Many letters to the court or DHS may force a ruling on this issue. The last I heard, DHS has amended some of the requirements to comply with the court's stated objections to the letters.

More info is available at the Heritage Foundation website. A very good article, dated April 30,2008 by James Jay Carafano, PhD. reminded me of the temporary injuction. I think the link is
heritagefoundation.org--anyway a google search of heritage foundation will get you there. Great reasearch site.

Up until this invasion there always was a no-match policy.

I recently heard talk suggesting that this is moving forward, and that it is expected to actual be in place within the next year or so. Obviously that's all speculative, and unfortunately I can't remember any of the specifics, but I do know it's still an ongoing issue being negotiated with the final aim of implementation in the near future.

And the sooner, the better, I say...if nothing else, having this type of system in place will make it a WHOLE lot easier to hold employers of illegals legally liable for hiring them in the first place, since it will make a lot of the false documents out there worthless in terms of employers claiming they didn't know the ID's weren't valid.
