The
Department of Homeland Security's Proposed "No-Match"
Regulation
Immigration
laws have always been an ever-changing maze of enforcement
and loopholes.
Nowadays,
as a result of the great number of illegal immigrants
in America and the need for the
immigration comprehensive reform bill , any smart
business owner realizes that they need the help and
guidance of an immigration attorney urgently.
It is
much less or a headache to seek legal counsel in regards
to compliance with current immigration requirements
and laws such as the
Basic Pilot Program than to seek legal guidance
upon receipt of notice that you are being investigated
or arrested by the FBI or Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE).
The President
Bush Administration has allocated millions of dollars
to ICE to specifically crack down on employers hiring
illegal immigrants. ICE is not only sanctioning the
suspected employers but also prosecuting them with
criminal charges and forfeiture of millions of dollars
from them.
As part of
the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS)
current focus of enforcing sanctions and prosecuting
employers who hire illegal aliens, DHS recently proposed
its “No-Match” regulation to clarify employer’s
obligations in resolving questions regarding employment
eligibility and to help the government crack down
on those employers who knowingly hire illegal workers.
FACTS:
Millions of social security
numbers provided by employers do not match the
information in the social security administration’s
(SSA) databases.
In some cases when an employer
has ten or more employees with inaccurate information,
the SSA sends the employer a “no-match”
letter.
DHS’s proposed “no-match”
regulation outlines clear steps that employers
can take in reaction to these letters.
This regulation would also
create a safe harbor for employers who undertake
good faith efforts to verify their employees’
eligibility.
