The Obama administration’s new approach to dealing with companies that hire illegal immigrants results in firings, not deportations, the New York Times reported Friday.

Instead of immigration sweeps at factories and farms which used to lead to illegal workers being shipped out of the country, the administration’s new policy—government conducted audits labeled “silent raids” by employers—usually only result in the workers losing their jobs, the Times said.

The Times article comes just over a week after the president delivered his highly anticipated speech on immigration reform, which was criticized on both ends of the political spectrum.

...THIS WAY, since the firings can't be reported as layoffs and recorded unemployed, the replacement hiring's can be reported as new jobs. WOOHOOO...summer of recovery. A&&holes

[Doogle]

..and no new “FINES” levied on the companies?

The main intent from the federal government seems to be prosecuting those who were born caucasian. They should change the seal.

You’re right...it’s a twofer! Keeps Barry’s constituency in the country and allows him to claim he’s doing something about employment.

[Venturer]

So then they are out of work and even more a burden on society.

But, if they get fired, they just sign up for unemployment...the application forms are in Spanish, ya know.

Do the fired workers use fake ID to get all sorts of good govt. benefits after being fired? Were they getting them even while employed? Are their children also removed from public schools which my taxes pay for?
They aren’t deporting them because these raids are only to build up zeros credentials as being tough on illegals while keeping them in country to qualify for amnesty.

Yeah, sure. Fired on Friday under one fake identity. Hired the next Monday under a new fake identity.

fake ID’s are Odumbo’s specialty....why would anyone need 6 Social Security cards?....six checks a month.

[kidd]

I would be all in favor of this, IF the intent were to discourage illegal immigration.

But since the Obama administration is openly attacking the Arizona law, he seems to encourage illegal immigrants to come to America and remain unemployed.

Which is even worse.

[Nachum]

The list, ping

So then they are out of work and even more a burden on society.

Now you know one of the reasons Zer0 wants to keep extending those jobless benefits.
