U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is prepared to criminally prosecute illegal immigrants in the workplace, as well as those employers who hire them.
"While we focus on the criminal prosecution of employers who knowingly hire illegal workers, under the current administration's enforcement priorities, workers encountered during these investigations who are unauthorized to remain in the United States are also subject to administrative arrest and removal from the country," ICE spokeswoman Danielle Bennett said in an email to the Washington Examiner.
This week, acting ICE Director Thomas Homan said his agency will increase workplace immigration enforcement effort four to five times the level current.
According to Bennett, that includes pursing more investigations and "conducting more I-9 audits."
An I-9 form is used for verifying the identity and employment authorization for someone to be hired to work in the U.S.
Data provided to the Washington Examiner shows that from Feb. 9, 2016, to June 24, 2017, ICE arrested 42 people in management and 55 people in non-management for criminal immigration violations, and all but 15 were indicted and convicted. The highest amount in the past few years was in fiscal 2011 under former President Barack Obama, when ICE arrested 221 people in management and 492 in non-management, for a total of 713 -- there has been a relative steady decline in the years following.
On ICE's website, it still has policy posted from 2013, which was revised and instituted in 2009 under Obama. That policy aims to target employers that use illegal immigrants as a business model, mistreat their workers, engaged in human smuggling or trafficking, commit identity and benefit fraud, launder money or engage in other criminal activity.
Regardless of the online policy, ICE under the Trump administration said it's ready to go forward with continued crackdowns on illegal immigration — which was a cornerstone of the president's campaign.
ICE officials were not able to describe what industries commit the most violations or what states have more violations than others.
"All businesses, regardless of size, industry or geographic location, are expected to comply with the law," Bennett said.
Does this mean the price of chicken is going up, or is that all processed in China now?
I'll just bet.
“ICE to target employers who hire illegal immigrants”
about F-ing time!
Enforce E-verify with BIG penalties and jail time!
I just had my roof replaced due to a major hailstorm and the only person on the crew who could speak English was the foreman.
Yes, it’s about time. The inequity abounds within all quarters of our social agreement. I hope and pray that President Trump is successful with everyone of his promises and policy implemation. For the sake of the republic and our prodigy. He mustn’t stop though, at commerce, but must extend the arm of the law and execution of justice into the very bowels of government.
It’s coming into the off-season at Myrtle Beach. Good time to clean out the illegal hotel staffing there.
In the past I’ve worked beside illegals in IT. The construction workers replacing the carpet were illegals. The cleaning crews were illegals.
In the current conditions, how many workers, including legal immigrants, are going to snitch to ICE on illegals among them? How many workers even care or think about the immigration status of those around them? My experience is that I am one of the few who has immigration in their top 10. For most people around me over the years, it has been low priority.
How many freepers have actually snitched on a specific illegal? I suspect that I am one of the few who has.
I suspect that on this issue, most people are all hat and no.....
Construction in SoCal will be decimated, Bring it on!!!
Finally! Just have some wired undercover Feds try to be hired while saying “By the way, I’m illegal.” They hire, slap the big fine. Soon it will be more expensive to hire illegal.
This was a recent one, but we need a lot more. https://www.ice.gov/news/releases/asplundh-tree-experts-co-pays-largest-civil-settlement-agreement-ever-levied-ice
Make it mandatory then it’s effective.
Gonna pi$$ Vicente Fox off ... going to cut his skim of the percentage of money sent back to Meh-e-coh.
The Bushes were the ones who taught me the meaning of ‘globalist”. Before W. I thought only the Dems were bad guys.
Belay the fines, which are just considered a cost of doing business. JAIL TIME. Even if only for 90 days in the County Lockup. "Oh the SHAME! Whatever will those at the Country Club think of me now?"
open up torts AGAINST COMPANIES for those caught using SS#’s belonging to citizens
“About Freakin’ Time.”
My thoughts exactly!
