DHS ISSUES ITS “WORKSITE ENFORCEMENT FACT SHEET”

DHS has issued a Worksite Enforcement Fact Sheet and  Worksite Enforcement Case Examples.

Employers who have undocumented people working for them should seek legal advice on how to handle the situation in light of the enforcement-heavy approach the government is taking.  Balancing the safe-harbor provisions required by immigration law with anti-discrimination and wrongful termination statutes could prove tricky.  Moreover, no-match letters issued in error could become a nightmare for many employers and US Citizens.  I am sure we will hear many reports of how this all plays out in the coming months.
