Illegal Worker Enforcement Is a Growing Challenge

It is the govt's responsibility to enforce the laws.

It's OK to break the law by hiring illegals until I get caught?

These employers know who is legal and who is not.

You really think there's a number, or even a website that would let you do this? >>>>>>>

Actually, they have had a verification SS# hot line, up & running in 5 states. GWB just signed the bill that will have it go nation wide by the end of 2004.

*However*, our 'electeds' ever *vigilant* to catch illegals & ID thieves, made this system VOLUNTARY for employers to use. So HOW serious is anyone in DC about crime??

No apology needed. It's not that you're wrong, we are all intentionally misinformed by our own politicians.

There are many backroom deals made when it comes to labor. Illegals don't just arrive on your doorstep asking for work. They are supplied by labor contractors who have strong political connections.

If the employee has the credentials, the employer must accept them.

What you want is for the employer to be required to slueth all his employees. And if he is wrong in his sluething, he gets sued.

It was posted here a while back, about the employer who recieved notice that a particular employee's SS# was possibly fraudulent, but he should not do anything about it except to check if the number in the payroll info was correct.

Yes, I noticed tight after GWB's speech, the US media quoted Fox as saying, "we want more, this is not enough".

However, after the meeting in mexico, Fox had changed his tune, "This is what we want"... (I thought maybe someone was telling Fox his demands for more weren't 'playing' to well in the USA)

Why any POTUS would make any deals with this corrupt country/gov't is beyond me.......& More corruption will set in when Fox is gone in 2006.

The problem is that our government is promoting revolutionaries whose whole purpose is to "take back their homeland". Bush is complicit in the destruction of the US as we know it. There will be a no-border policy and we will be a part of what no doubt will be known as the PAU The pan-American Union. We have no friends in government .. save two (if there are more I would like to be advised) TANCREDO & RON PAUL

"I feel the fine should be higher and if they are caught more than once they should spend 30 to 60 days in jail."

I like $5000 for the first fine because it is cheap enough to get a guilty plea. Hiring a trial attorney costs about the same.
