I9 Enforcement And CIR

A recent story in the Washington Post
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/co ... eheadlines
says that a cleaning firm used unauthorized workers to clean the
home of DHS Secretary Chertoff. The owner of the business has
been fined while several "workers moved after ICE agents showed
up at their homes" according to the story. Under the soon-to-come
Obama administration, we suspect that enforcement actions against
employers will not just continue, but will even gather steam.
However, ICE policies as to unauthorized employees are likely to
be significantly changed. Instead of being put into detention and
removal proceedings, it is entirely possible that the employees
will just be released after questioning, while Congress crafts a
strategy to deal with the nation's large undocumented workforce.
This new administrative release policy will likely be instituted
in light of the severe disruptions to families, frequently of
mixed citizenship and documented status, caused by the harsh
nature of recent ICE raids. We expect this new policy to be
implemented swiftly, perhaps as soon as late January 2009.

The increased enforcement against employers, especially when
joined with a more humane attitude toward undocumented employees,
will likely create a new class of outraged proponents of CIR -
businesses, small and large - across the country. Business has
been split over CIR in the past - one segment favors legalization
of currently undocumented employees, another segment favors
increased future legal importation of essential workers.
Increased I9 enforcement may tip the scales toward legalization
and against those who seek increased future worker flows. This is
especially important in light of the fact that the incoming
Congress will likely be the most labor-friendly one in several
decades, and may look coolly upon guest worker programs, while
being favorably disposed toward legalization. The CIR ideas
likely to be drafted into bills in the coming days and weeks (not
months) will perhaps be the most labor-friendly, and by extension
employer-unfriendly, that Congresses in recent memory have
considered.

Recent press reports have indicated that CIR is everything from
imminent, given the institution of a working group in the Obama
transition team, to unlikely, given the economic crisis. We
believe that the determining factor in enacting CIR (and its
timing) will be Congress, and not the new administration (we will
survey the Congressional scene for our readers in the coming
days). In some shape or form, CIR is coming, and perhaps sooner
than most think. Stay tuned.

They have a special immigration group made up of big business, special interest groups, pro-illegal racist groups like LaRaza and MALDEF, and several Hispanic members sitting on the board who will DETERMINE WHICH KIND OF AMNESTY THEY WILL APPROVE.

WE NEED TO MARCH!

Obama has said that one of his first orders of business in the White House will be to create millions of new jobs. What kind of jobs? Mark my words and remember this...he will create many of these jobs for illegal aliens as a way to legitimately get them onto the Democratic dole. Don't let your guard down for an instant. Obama is a snake in the grass and is as ruthless as they come. His mantra of "Change" was like the Pied Piper calling the rats. IMO, buyers remorse will be widespread and in two years there will be hell to pay.
