The Obama administration has quietly begun implementing a new policy for dealing with illegal aliens. Under the new plan ICE audits employers (more than 2,900 in the past year) and then forces them to fire all the undocumented workers on their payroll. If the employer doesn’t comply, they are hit with massive fines.
Mark K. Reed, president of Border Management Strategies, a consulting firm in Tucson that advises companies across the country on immigration law explained “Instead of hundreds of agents going after one company, now one agent can go after hundreds of companies, and there is no drama, no trauma, no families being torn apart, no handcuffs.”
Sounds pretty good doesn’t it?
Here’s the catch. The administration has already decided not to deport Invaders unless they’ve been convicted of a felony. This is the official policy and has been documented in other stories on this blog.
And people wonder why Arizona had to pass it’s own law? The fact that the Federal Government is unwilling to deport illegals, to me, is proof that they’ve officially abdicated their responsibility to enforce the border and immigration laws, and instead are looking to make a cash grab against the corporations that hire them.
I’m all for punishing the companies, but once you know who these folks are, why are they allowed to stay?
