Are you sure

I thought I was. It appears I was wrong. Thanks for pointing this out.

I thought the employment verification program (Form I-9) was mandatory, not voluntary.

Unfortunately, making the program mandatory, will not curtail illegal immigration.

When I saw your post, I thought maybe I had misread on this 'so-called' law.

Leave it to those in DC, to 'pat themselves on the back' for passing ANOTHER law, complete with the usual LOOPHOLES.

We always hear that it's so hard to prosecute the employers, because 'some' forged papers are so good. *IF* gov't had made this law MANDATORY, wouldn't this give them a way to FINE the illegal employers ??

For GWB to sign this in 'voluntarily', just seems to me, that *no one* is too serious about catching the millions of employers who work these illegals & also avoid paying MILLIONS in state & federal taxes.
