The federal government is cracking down on businesses that hire illegal immigrants and they are auditing employer’s I-9s and paperwork to find violations. In fact, they notified nearly 1,000 businesses across the nation that their records will be audited, and also warned the companies of the stiff penalties if they did not fix the problems.
|
The Obama Administration doesn’t want immigration officials to “storm businesses” while people are working. Rather they would like to look at all the records. For those business owners with a history of violating these laws they can expect stiff criminal penalties.

Google, Intel, Yahoo and PayPal, what do the all have in common?
That they are famous global brands.
Well they certainly are but that is not my point. |
That they are the industry leaders in the Information Age and Internet Revolution we have been in the last 15 years.
I think we all agree these are the names we think of to answer when a statement like this is made but again is not what I was alluding too.

I received an email this morning which is from a leading immigration publisher quoting an article on the Wall Street Journal A Wall Street Journal which points out that an infusion of innovators is even more needed in a recession. |
Companies founded by immigrants include Yahoo, eBay and Google. Half of Silicon Valley start-ups were founded by immigrants, up from 25% a decade ago. Some 40% of patents in the U.S. are awarded to immigrants. A recent study by the Kauffman Foundation found that immigrants are 50% likelier to start businesses than natives. Immigrant-founded technology firms employ 450,000 workers in the US.

While acknowledging that the recession makes the political battle more difficult, President Obama plans to begin addressing the country’s immigration system this year, including looking for a path for illegal immigrants to become legal, a senior administration official said on Wednesday. Mr. Obama will frame the new effort — likely to rouse passions on all sides of the highly divisive issue — as “policy reform that controls immigration and makes it an orderly system,” said the official, Cecilia Muñoz, deputy assistant to the president and director of intergovernmental affairs in the White House.
|
Mr. Obama plans to speak publicly about the issue in May, administration officials said, and over the summer he will convene working groups, including lawmakers from both parties and a range of immigration groups, to begin discussing possible legislation for as early as this fall.

Yes, they are important to our future!
Many of tomorrow’s workers and business owners are the children of today’s
immigrants. More than 40% of the growth of our labor force in the late 1990s was
due to immigrants, and since immigration WILL continue, they are important to our
future growth.
|
A concern is certainly that many of today’s Hispanic/Latino immigrants are
uneducated and unskilled: this could mean that their children will not fit into our
knowledge-based and high-tech economy.

In the last two decades or so, Mexican immigration has been a very hot topic in the United States. There have been alarmist cries that the Mexicans are flooding the southern U.S. border and taking away jobs from people in the United States. But in all honest, the discussion about Mexican immigrants has been filled with emotions, rhetoric, and misinformation.
|

The results of elections 2008 are good news for immigration reform. It’s not just the election of Barack Obama, say advocates. From the Senate to Congress, immigration failed as a wedge issue. And some anti-immigrant candidates have lost their seats.
|
Representatives of immigration rights groups recently weighed in on the elections during an Access Washington call organized by New America Media. They discussed how the ethnic vote swayed the presidential and congressional races in battleground states and why they perceive the changing landscape of the U.S. government as a victory for immigration reform supporters.
