CNSNews.com - Obama Administration to Fine Employers as GOP Pushes to Replace Illegals with U.S. Workers: "(CNSNews.com) - Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Assistant Secretary John Morton made appearances in Washington on Thursday to announce that they are cracking down on businesses that employ illegal immigrants as well as recognizing those that try to follow the law by using an online system that verifies an employee's legal status.
On the same day, Republicans said that while some businesses are being investigated, most illegal workers are not being removed.
“We at DHS are committed … to investigating and penalizing employers that break the law,” Morton said at a legal workforce symposium. “And as I said, we are also committed to the vast majority of employers who want to comply with the law.”
At a Capitol Hill forum, Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee, and other Republicans discussed data from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) showing that enforcement of immigration laws in the workplace has plummeted during the first year of Obama’s presidency."
