" · The first is to identify and remove criminal aliens, immigration fugitives and other immigration violators from this country.
· The second is to build strong worksite enforcement and compliance programs to deter illegal employment in this country.
· The third is to uproot the criminal infrastructures at home and abroad that support illegal immigration, including human smuggling / trafficking organizations and document / benefit fraud organizations.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said, "Illegal immigration poses an increasing threat to our security and public safety, and hard-hitting interior enforcement will reinforce the strong stance we are taking at our borders. "
ICE assist Secretary Myers said, "This strategy lays down a detailed roadmap for ICE and Homeland security to pursue in addressing the massive illegal alien problem in this country."
Goal one: identify and remove criminal aliens, fugitives and other immigration violators.
Goal two: build strong worksite enforcement and compliance programs to deter illegal employment
goal three: uproot the criminal infrastructure that supports illegal immigration
Normally, I would say I would believe it when I see it. However, in a related story...
Feds crack down on employers using illegal immigrants. -- KATU 2 News
Federal agents on Wednesday arrested seven current and former managers ofIFCO Systems a manufacture of crates and pallets on criminal charges and more than 1100 people were arrested on administrative immigration charges at more than 40 company sites in the United States.
"We are going to move beyond the current level of activity to a higher level in each month and year to come," Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said Thursday. He pledged to "come down as hard as possible" on violators."
of course there are those who are in favor of illegal immigrant workers
" Don Sherman, director of the Cincinnati Interfaith Committee for Worker Justice, an advocate for immigrant workers and their rights, was skeptical about the government's move.
"I think the timing is very suspicious because there are a number of rallies coming up around the country promoting immigration reform," he said. "
more than half of the companies 5800 employee during 2005 had invalid or mismatch the security numbers
" The case began after officials got a tip that IFCO workers in Guilderland, N.Y. were seen ripping up their W-2 forms because they did not intend to file tax returns, Chertoff said. "

At last, Chertoff is getting off his butt and finally doing something to address the illegal alien problem, arresting those that hire these freeloaders. He has just gotten started, but hopefully the roundup of this bunch of criminal employers will lead to more, many more. Now, if the IRS would just get into the act and declare that these employers cannot use their wages paid to the illegals as a business deduction on their tax returns. That would more to discourage these employers than anything else.
Aside from the wages that were paid, there are the taxes that were ither taken from illegals and never paid to the governement or never taken from the illegals. Then there are tax breaks given to employers with large numbers of employees.
Consider that none of this money went to government programs that I am sure the illegals are using to help them - foodstamps, medical, housing,etc.
I wonder if this could turn into racketeering charges? The government doesn't like being cheated out of money.
there has been some cases where employees and the federal government have used RICO racketeering laws against employers who hire illegal aliens.
so yes, it is a possibility.
Don't get too excited about the government solving this problem. If you look into any of the 9/11 cover-up you will discover that the entire government is a bunch of cowardly lying bastards. A closer look into all this free trade of goods and interchangable worker units is intrumental in bringing about the North American
Unit they desire. No borders, no nationalities, no freedom, no customs or cultures, just peasants. Remember, it's a global economy. Remember how they sold us on the Nafta and Cafta agreements. Remember all the jobs promised. Ross Perot was right, hear that sucking sound. Unfortunately if your not able to be an Internationalist you will be relagated to a peon.
