Also, as has been mentioned here in CEHST many times over the years, slapping harsh fines on employers who hire illegals need to be enforced.  Put a price on doing so of around $100,000 per instance should help reduce the lure of cheap employees (nearly slave labor).

My mom told me than when she first picked up a supervisor job in a local hotel as her first job after she got her green card, about 1/3 of the housekeepers had false work documents - she didn't have hard proof, but this was a known secret. Employers obviously know that they are bogus but pretend ignorance because ICE/USCIS won't have ways to prove their dishonesty. She also said that she would have been more sympathetic to them if they hadn't splurged their money on Gucci bag, Channel or whatever fancy stuff. 

 

Another story - remember when Maryland failed to pass a sanctuary city bill one time? Guess who opposed it? Legal immigratns, most of which were Asians and a few were latinos that used to be illegals until reinstated. Surprise slap in the democrats' faces!

My plan:

 

1.  No adjustment of status from tourist visas, except perhaps in EXTREME medical emergencies.

 

2.  "OK, DACA kid; you can stay, but your illegal parents must submit themselves for prompt deportation."

06-04-2007 = TSC stamps postal return-receipt for I-129f.

06-11-2007 = NOA1 date (unknown to me).

07-20-2007 = Phoned Immigration Officer; got WAC#; where's NOA1?

09-25-2007 = Touch (first-ever).

09-28-2007 = NOA1, 23 days after their 45-day promise to send it (grrrr).

10-20 & 11-14-2007 = Phoned ImmOffs; "still pending."

12-11-2007 = 180 days; file is "between workstations, may be early Jan."; touches 12/11 & 12/12.

12-18-2007 = Call; file is with Division 9 ofcr. (bckgrnd check); e-prompt to shake it; touch.

12-19-2007 = NOA2 by e-mail & web, dated 12-18-07 (187 days; 201 per VJ); in mail 12/24/07.

01-09-2008 = File from USCIS to NVC, 1-4-08; NVC creates file, 1/15/08; to consulate 1/16/08.

01-23-2008 = Consulate gets file; outdated Packet 4 mailed to fiancee 1/27/08; rec'd 3/3/08.

04-29-2008 = Fiancee's 4-min. consular interview, 8:30 a.m.; much evidence brought but not allowed to be presented (consul: "More proof! Second interview! Bring your fiance!").

05-05-2008 = Infuriating $12 call to non-English-speaking consulate appointment-setter.

05-06-2008 = Better $12 call to English-speaker; "joint" interview date 6/30/08 (my selection).

06-30-2008 = Stokes Interrogations w/Ecuadorian (not USC); "wait 2 weeks; we'll mail her."

07-2008 = Daily calls to DOS: "currently processing"; 8/05 = Phoned consulate, got Section Chief; wrote him.

08-07-08 = E-mail from consulate, promising to issue visa "as soon as we get her passport" (on 8/12, per DHL).

08-27-08 = Phoned consulate (they "couldn't find" our file); visa DHL'd 8/28; in hand 9/1; through POE on 10/9 with NO hassles(!).

I kinda like these ideas. I think industries that benefited from DACA should be taxed to pay for the legal status of DACA conversions to an existing/relevant visa (with extra scrutiny on student visas) with provisions barring them from passing on citizenship or legal status to anyone else but their own children born in the US. It means not all DACA people would even be given legal status, they'd have the burden of proof to demonstrate their time in the US has been productive, otherwise, by the non-immigrant nature of deferral.. deported. If that amount of generosity were to be a problem, I'd not have an issue whatsoever with a very simple policy of "deport them all".

Would that "industries" rule of financial support extend to the previous president who enacted DACA in the first place?

I'm all for it, since this is basically a hypothetical that stands no chance anyways. I think I suggested it before that Obama be held liable to pay for the damages caused by DACA, which is his policy, one which also contravened immigrant law.

All they would have to do is make payment to illegals not deductible as a business expense.

I wonder if there is an easier alternative to E-Verify. I talked to a few people who work in HR, and they said it's a pain in the behind.(am I allowed to use profanities here, or will this bleed some people's heart?), which is why some businesses (even larger ones in states that is not mandated) can get away with knowingly hiring illegal aliens under false pretense of ignorance.

Can you elaborate on why E-verify is difficult to use?  I have only experienced it as an end user, not an employer, but it seems pretty straightforward to me.

Well I don't know all the intricacy, but all I have been told by a few acquaintances in HR is that E-verify poses lots of work on employers. However, from what I gather, when a company does E-verify, several things happen: 

 

1. You allow SSA and DHS to audit employer data. Every 30 day employer's data is reviewed, and if something is wrong, audit can be done by any agency of ICE/USCIS/SSA and Justice of Departments' Immigrant and Employee Rights Section. This alone is enough for illegal-happy employers to not opt in if there is no mandate. In fact, this is why farmers don't like E-Verify. Also, E-Verify is s separate from I-9, so you still can get fined for I-9 violation even if you pass E-Verify.

 

2. You need more than one E-verify specialist in your company. This can be costly even though E-Verify enrollment cost is free because there are downstream costs such as training HR members just for E-verify. 

 

3. E-verify, despite its "E-" prefix, does not allow you to submit anytime you want - it has "off-line" period, which is absurd.

As a former Plant manager, I implemented its use for our company and taught HR to use it. If you cant figure out how to use E-Verify you have no business doing anything but stacking boxes. It's super easy.

The businesses I know who employ illegals know perfectly well what they are doing. Can there be an odd situation where somebody slips through the cracks, I am sure there is but that is not the norm. Ditto I know a few who make a big issue that they do nt employ illegals and they do not.
