Bite the hand that feeds
Seems the INS has been a bit more active since May1st
From yesterdays local news: Dozens of illegal immigrants who worked for a drywall company are now in custody. The workers were identified when agents reviewed the hiring records of Standard Drywall, which has contracts with Camp Pendleton. None of the immigrants worked on the base. They allegedly used fake identification cards to get their jobs. ?Employers are supposed to ask for proper immigration documents, but without proper training it becomes difficult to tell whether the card is legitimate or not,? said Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Michael Unzueta. Twenty-eight workers -- most of them Mexican -- will be deported. One of the workers is being charged for unlawful possession of a firearm. |

I guess I don't understand the point given the title and the first line of your post.
Who is biting who's hand?

It does appear though that after the May 1st protests the INS has stepped up operations. |

Effectively the illegals decided they were above the law, they had a "strike", ****ed in everyone's cereal publically, and now the government has decided to enforce the actual laws.
Too bad, so sad. Our temp agency was audited on that Wednesday, 2 days after the strike, by INS and everyone with any number that came up as "bad" in the computer was fired. I don't think they deported anyone, but they lost their job with the agency. We had a "don't ask, don't tell" thing that seemed to be working for the businesses and the state and that is clearly gone. |

Enforcing existing laws years ago would have aborted this situation but that's to easy. We are in the process of being sold out and eventually, we will all have a national identity card which I am begining to believe is something that the government wanted all along.

Haven't we already past the point of no return? State IDs, social security, tracking via credit card purchases, credit info collection, address collection, mailing lists, email, cookies, spyware, photo radar, video surviellance in public, etc. I'm not sure how a national ID card would really make much of a difference. It only takes a matter of minutes for anyone, law enforcment or otherwise, to access the internet and figure out who you are. Have you seen the type of info you can access within a matter of moments using a system like Nexus/Lexus? I really don't think a national ID would be anything more than a drop in the bucket. Unless I'm missing something? |

Well, there are already 10 documents that establish both identity and employment eligibility, 12 documents that establish identity, and 7 that establish employment eligibility (known as lists A, B and C). One more document is not going to change anything except making it a PITA for everyone, IMHO.

What employers need is a reliable way to verify the documents provided. Then the current laws need to be enforced. |

The problem is, a lot of employers choose to hire illegals because they can pay them less, they don't pay unemployment, workers compensation, etc. like they would for legitimate employees. Even with ways to verify the status of potential workers, those companies that are willing to risk the consequences of hiring illegals will continue to do so until they are severely fined or shut down. They know the odds of getting caught are in their favor.
If the govermnment is really serious about enforcing the existing laws they will provide the manpower needed to do so, and say screw the ACLU and their anti-profiling stance.

As someone who employs roughly 65 employees at any given time, it does get tough to ensure the validity of the documents. A main problem I've always had (yet I understand some of the reasoning behind it) is not being able to ask for certain TYPES of ID when filling out an I-9. The law doesn't allow me to require a certain ID from an employee, as long as they can produce ONE from column A or ONE EACH from B and C... Now, if there was a simple way for ALL employers to check Social Security Numbers, etc...many problems would either be eliminated...or those without proper documents would find more creative ways to beat the system. I'd bet the latter. Funny story...had a kid come apply....friend of one of the other employees. Nice Kid...filling out his papers I look at his social security card. It had TEN digits instead of NINE! Told him "Sorry" and sent him on his way.

Our home office DOES flag numbers that don't appear to be good, but again, you can't do anything until after the fact. It's frustrating, for sure.

Speaking of ID, I just had to give a driver's license to buy children's cough syrup.
Yay for meth labs! |
