Official: Work site raids reviewed, not delayed

WASHINGTON — A shift by the federal government to make employers the primary target of immigration raids is not an effort to provide unofficial amnesty, a top immigration official said Thursday, adding that unauthorized workers will be "appropriately dealt with." Marcy Forman, director of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement's investigations office told a House panel: "The secretary is committed to going after the employer who engages in criminal activity."
Forman said work-site immigration raids are not being delayed, but are being reviewed to determine whether there is enough evidence to target employers.
Republican Rep. Harold "Hal" Rogers, R-Ky., said Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano is expected to announce soon the administration's protocol for work-site raids and he expressed concerns.
"I'm nervous that the department is making a big change said Rogers, who is the top Republican on the House Appropriations Committee's homeland security subcommittee. "I hope you can prove me wrong. I pray that I'm wrong."
Some immigration and Latino advocates have been calling for a halt to immigration raids. Those who support tough immigration laws allege undocumented workers will be allowed to continue to work illegally.

Don't reward the criminal actions of millions of illegal aliens by giving them citizenship.
