N-i-c-e take, DM. McKennedy must be holding hands and dancing the Irish Jig.....oh, wait.....make that the Mexican Hat Dance.
You ask about EMPLOYER ENFORCEMENT PROVISIONS...if we legalize all these people, especially those who have broken the law the longest...those here more than 5 years...what are we going to do about their EMPLOYERS... the ones who have been paying these folks in cash under the table...are we going to try and collect back payroll taxes on these guys....
Remember, the SEC wants to know if publicly-held companies, their execs and Board of Directors put investments at risk - either by utilizing risky short-term wage gains, or violating accounting laws with regard to Sarbanes-Oxley. Fraudulent filings, or not filing with the IRS could also play a huge part in this.
EMAIL your concerns to enforcement@SEC.gov
If those in the shadows come out with verifiable proof they've been paid without employers reporting them, without Congress applying an amnesty to those employers also, I can see a trainwreck for them on the horizon.
That will come back to bite the arses of those supposed-to-be pro-business GOPpers.
They in Washington rush headlong into decisions without thoroughly thinking them through to their end. If they ultimately lose their big corporate doners and their most conservative base over the mess, it serves them right.
