ICE Is Cracking Down On Employers Of Illegal Aliens… For Real

If you’re an employer who is in the habit of looking the other way when a job applicant can’t prove they are in the country legally, there’s a good chance that you received an unexpected visit from ICE over the past few months. In a recent press release from the agency, we learned that the second phase of a nationwide operation cracking down on employers of illegal aliens just concluded. ICE examined the records of more than 5,000 employers and wound up making a number of arrests. (ICE.gov)

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) announced Tuesday the results of a two-phase nationwide operation in which I-9 audit notices were served to more than 5,200 businesses around the country since January. A notice of inspection (NOI) informs business owners that ICE is going to audit their hiring records to determine whether they are complying with existing law.

From July 16 to 20, the second phase of the operation, HSI served 2,738 NOIs and made 32 arrests. During the first phase of the operation, Jan. 29 to March 30, HSI served 2,540 NOIs and made 61 arrests…

While the agency routinely conducts worksite investigations to uphold federal law, HSI is currently carrying out its commitment to increase the number of I-9 audits in an effort to create a culture of compliance among employers, according to Benner.

HSI goes one to remind everyone that these are not “victimless crimes.” Illegal aliens who are allowed to work under such arrangements frequently do so using stolen identification, leading to a variety of headaches and financial loss to the identity theft victim. While some of the worst offenders among these employers are being prosecuted, the main goal of the department is to create a “culture of compliance” among employers across the country.

This is welcome news indeed and a subject which we’ve covered here extensively. It’s true that we need to continue to work to identify, locate and deport illegal aliens, but as long as they keep coming into the country at the same rate we’re really not gaining any ground. You need to shut down the magnet which attracts so many illegal aliens and that’s the possibility of obtaining American jobs. If that market dries up, the flow of illegals will do the same rapidly.

One other item of note from the ICE announcement is that they have succeeded in obtaining a preliminary injunction against portions of California’s AB450 bill which sought to impose fines on private employers for cooperating with ICE on investigations of illegal alien workers. It was a laughable bill to begin with because it had nothing to do with state or local law enforcement cooperating with ICE. It was restricting voluntary cooperation by private employers. Now, with the injunction in place, ICE is receiving improved cooperation from California employers in this regard.

Keep up the good work, ladies and gentlemen. This is how we’re going to see actual progress in the future.

ICE targets 75 N.J. businesses suspected of hiring illegal aliens

ICE Is Cracking Down On Employers Of Illegal Aliens… For Real

I'll believe this when I actually see it. Here in my area, I don't know of one business that has been busted for employing illegals, other than the exception of Cloverhill Bakery. And I believe that's located way on the northside of Chicago. There's 3 I can name right off the bat that is not only employing dozens of illegals, but literally over a hundred of them, if not a couple hundred. These are huge companies/factories where the majority of the workers are illegal aliens. Everyone in this area knows about them employing illegals. These companies are:

ISC Bridge
86 North Bridge St
Gary, IN 46404

Hoist Lift Truck
4407 Railroad Ave
East Chicago, IN 46312

LB Steel
296 E 156th St
Harvey, IL 60426

Can someone please tell me why these companies are still employing over a hundred illegals each with total impunity? I would really like to know, because it really baffles me. I can name many, many more smaller companies who also have a majority illegal alien workforce around here.

I wonder where in the country these 5,200 businesses are. A Dot Density map would be nice to show this data. I would really like to know where in the country most of these audits have been served, because it sure doesn't seem like ICE in Chicago is doing jack sh*t.

Also, DHS, being responsible for the I-9 forms, should be able to identify fraudulent I-9 forms. Employers just turning in these forms isn't enough, DHS needs to verify the information is correct on every single one of them. With the technology we have today, there should be no reason why they shouldn't be able to.

Isn't this what I've been saying all along? I believe it is. Go after the source, the people who employ them.

I also wonder if they are immediately deported or if they are given a court date and disappear again.

I'm also wondering if we should also contact DHS, since they are the ones responsible for the I-9 forms, and ask them to do an I-9 audit on companies that are knowingly employing illegal aliens, in addition to reporting them to ICE.

I wasn't impressed, but hope others will try. If they are swamped with calls, perhaps it will send a message that we want action.
