WASHINGTON – Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff plans to announce changes to rules designed to stop businesses from hiring people working in the country illegally.

The rules proposed to force employers to fire workers whose names don't match their Social Security numbers. A Homeland Security official, speaking on condition of anonymity ahead of the announcement Thursday, says Chertoff will describe the changes, which were prompted by a judge's order.

The American Civil Liberties Union, the AFL-CIO and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce have sued Chertoff over the rules. They say the rules open the door for discrimination against legitimate workers.

A judge had barred Chertoff from implementing the proposed rules. The department has previously proposed changes to address the judge's concerns.

Just the "legitimate" workers using false SS cards.

How about requiring employers to call police and have the employees arrested? My father went through IRS hell when some busboy in Brooklyn had been using his SS# and all the wages and tips from bussing tables got reported to the IRS under my father's SS#. Then the IRS accused my father of failing to report income on his return, underpaying his taxes, tried to hit him with penalties, etc.
