THE IDEA STARTED ON THIS THREAD.
We are hearing that reports of employers using illegal aliens or instances of illegal aliens engaged in criminal activity, have been responded to quickly by the new agency. Please note that it is unlikely that ICE will take any action against an illegal alien that is not employed illegally or engaged in some other sort of illegal activity.
The TOLL FREE number to report ILLEGAL aliens or those employing ILLEGAL aliens to ICE is: 866-347-2423
How it works:
You are not required to provide your identity to ICE. All that is necessary to request an investigation by ICE is mere suspicion of any activity by ILLEGAL aliens.
ICE and the IRS are especially interested in "visiting" those businesses that employ ILLEGALS "off the books" to avoid the payment of payroll taxes.
Small and large businesses are equally notorious in the hiring of ILLEGAL aliens to avoid paying fair wages to its workers and to criminally evade the collection and payment of payroll taxes.
We are interested in getting current information regarding how helpful or unhelpful the new agency has been in taking your information and following up on your complaint, so please drop us an email to keep us current.

===========================
FReepers, here is a chance to make a difference in this battle. The only thing that will stop the invasion is stopping the employers who hire illegal aliens.
Please use this thread to give us reports of what you are doing. We need to develop a list of those businesses who can prove that they do not hire illegal aliens. If, for instance, you have spoken with someone at a certain restaurant and can determine that the restaurant does not hire illegal aliens, let us know about it. Those in the area need to partronize that restaurant. Positive publicity needs to be generated for them for being good Americans.
If you have evidence (perhaps including photos) of a business that is hiring illegals, report it to the number above and give us a report. Please do your homework on this. Make sure you get it right.
This may or may not have a significant impact, but we can't just sit here and watch our nation and culture being destroyed. If we can do this enough times around the country and make sure we get publicity, we have the potential to do something really important here.
Who is going to be first?
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA) created a new, formal process for deportation called expedited removal. This process was established by Congress to remove certain inadmissible aliens from the United States. The law authorized the Commissioner of the Immigration and Naturalization Service to designate certain groups of individuals for placement in expedited removal proceedings. Under expedited removal, individuals can be removed on an order issued by an INS officer. The U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) began implementing the expedited removal provisions of IIRIRA on April 1, 1997.
I believe that local governments can seize property used to facilitate the smuggling of illegals. Looking into it...
I don't think California landlords would like to hear that. The real estate is too valuable to risk. Unfortunately, local government in the land of Villaraigosa is not going to do anything.
Ping. Who are you going to call?
Doug I think its a great idea. I love it when WE can do something other than sit around and complain. I've been a home health nurse for 12+ years. I cannot begin to tally the number of "indigent" patients we've taken on because they were illegal and injured on the JOB... I wish I had this number a few years ago.
The bottom line on the whole immigration issue is enforcing the laws esp holding the businesses accountable. I truly believe THAT is the key. Cut off the money supply - cut off the reason to jump the border. Also by policing businesses for illegals, you would start weeding out the illegals. I realize it's a long process but this did not get to be a problem overnight!
And the word I have is that property used to smuggle/transport illegal aliens can be seized. Just the same as property that has been used in the commission of a feloney can be seized.
Suck it up and do the right thing you wuss.
I will. After going to see how construction is going on my son's new home, I noticed all the workers are hispanics. I suspect they are illegals. Is that all I need is just to suspect? I hadn't called already because I thought I needed proof.
Remember... California wineries and vineyards hire lots and lots of illegals.
I don't know what proof you need, but I hope we are going to find out.
Well, I guess I need to make some more phone calls. :)
Al Rantel on KABC in Los Angeles may be interested in this effort. He has one of the great talk shows. You can listen online at www.kabc.com
We will. I'll start callin' now.
Thanks for ALL of your work Doug! BTTT!
Here is part of the script.
1. Hello, my name is Doug and I hope I am going to be able to remain a customer.
2. I have made a decision that I will not patronize a business that hires illegal aliens.
3. I hope you are going to be able to guarantee to me that you do not hire illegal aliens. How can you assure me? (they will give an answer)
4. Do you verify the Social Security number -- SS fraud line is 800.269.0271. What else do you do to make sure you are obeying the law?
5. If you discover you have hired an illegal alien, what will you do about it?
When you are done with a call, give us a report. I am working on the way to confront a business that I am absolutely sure is hiring illegals. I think I want to do something like give them a 30-day warning and then all hell is going to break loose on them.
I need your help. Please use the script above and make a few calls. Try to get the local newspaper and talk show to talk about the effort. Thanks!
Ummmm, to No. 118 -- don't tell them you are Doug. :)
Thanks for the script and the phone numbers (SS fraud line and ICE). Very helpful.
