WESLACO, TX - Businesses in the lower Valley are getting visited by ICE agents.
It's part of an audit check to ensure employees have authorization to work in the United States.
This is part of an auditing process, not a raid. Businesses approached are not automatically considered at fault.
ICE sent a statement to CHANNEL FIVE NEWS:
"On July 15, 2019 ICE’s Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agents served notices of inspection (NOIs), also known as I-9 audit notices on some South Texas businesses. A notice of inspection alerts a business owner that ICE is going to audit their hiring records to determine whether or not they are in compliance with the law. Employers are required to produce their company’s I-9s within three business days, after which ICE will conduct an inspection for compliance."
A hotel in Port Isabel received its notice Monday.
They say they are aware of about 10 other businesses in Cameron County who received similar audit notifications this week.

“...Good deal, this needs to be done!...”
Yes, and QUIETLY. No announced visits.
Good.
Too many businesses hire illegals.
Like the census bureau, ICE should hire millions of contractors to visit every workplace in the country, unannounced, to do these checks. Even ask for volunteers to spend a couple hours each week doing it. Empower Americans, US citizens, to help identify employeed illegal aliens.
Excellent suggestion .. any monies spent on paying individual contractors would utterly pale in comparison to the gigantic sucking wetback whirlpool from our GDP.

sign me up.
Absolutely.
These are audits, not raids more like IRS audits only they check for illegal employment practices. Some businesses end up with hefty fines for not being in compliance.
These are generally done quietly and without hoopla. I would prefer raids myself where they appear and arrest large groups of illegals. The thing is raids get more resistance from the socialists and the courts like to get involved.
This may be more effective than the old raids where generally the illegals were gathered up and employer got slap on the wrist if anything. After all if employers won’t hire them that would be great.
I am happy to hear something is being done about illegals and employment.
This truly does need to be expanded. There was a concentrated effort last year and it resulted in many businesses getting hefty fines, some claimed it ruined their business so that was is a win to me.
I agree, this pressure on employers needs to be kept on them all the time- need to figure out how to do that.
Have bounty hunters. If they find illegals, they get a cut of the fines.

What really needs to be done is to confiscate their property if illegal aliens are found working there.
Ownership of property is an abstract right that only exists if the people around you agree to it. Otherwise, they will just take it.
The property laws of the United States are Anglo-Saxon property laws handed down from 2000 years of history. The people who invite in those who would occupy our nation and ultimately organize to take our property are no longer entitled to the concept of ownership. They have left the nation, and transferred their loyalty to another.
Forfeiture is used for the tiniest of infractions in this country. Make it mandatory for employment of illegals.
This is interesting and sounds like what you are talking about. This man was an illegal himself but they say if he is convicted they will take his assets. Have already taken his expensive vehicles.
He’s an illegal. I’m saying the forfeiture should apply to Americans as well.
As for this SOB in Northern Georgia, that’s a place that hundreds - maybe thousands - of people in my extended family live and have lived for 250 years. Some of them went in with Oglethorpe. The invaders have shown up in Dalton, Dahlonega, and all the other little towns in the Georgia mountains for the last 25 years. Before that, no one had ever seen any of them. They move in, pull crap like this guy did, and destroy the area.
Hope he has a nice time back home in the mountains of Oaxaca. Maybe he can start a construction business. He had to have learned a lot here.
Yes for now this is probably considered an extreme case, there is in the law seizure possibilities though, even for citizens. It has been used when say illegals die being transported in a closed up semi truck. The law is there though, just needs to be put in use against employers more often.
I don’t really like asset seizures because people doing them get carried away but it is indeed a possibility.
Asset forfeiture should only be on conviction.
But if a guy thinks he’s gonna lose the farm or the business place because he’s ducking the immigration laws, he’s going to think more then twice.
I agree with that, only on conviction.
