Hmmm... Guess I'll have to watch it again later or read the transcript. Someone up the thread said he DID. I heard him say something about how hard it was for businesses to not hire them because of ID fraud, but that's all I heard. What else did he say about that? Anyone?
he said it was difficult for employers to determine who had legit ID and who didn't
but didn't say anything about FINING THOSE WHO HIRE ILLEGALS!
He said clearly that employing illegal aliens was "against the law" during his speech.
"Third, we need to hold employers to account for the workers they hire. It is against the law to hire someone who is in this country illegally. Yet businesses often cannot verify the legal status of their employees, because of the widespread problem of document fraud. Therefore, comprehensive immigration reform must include a better system for verifying documents and work eligibility".
I hope this doesn't mean until we develop a better system for identification these employers will skate?
