Businesses Employing Illegal Aliens Brace for Fierce Worksite Enforcement Under Second Trump Administration

John Binder 18 Nov 2024

Businesses with illegal alien employees are bracing for a second Trump administration where they expect fierce worksite enforcement by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — a component of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) gutted by President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris.

“While much of the incoming administration’s policy agenda for the immigrant workforce is still unknown, employers are gearing up for a dramatic increase in worksite enforcement, as outlined by key Trump officials,” Bloomberg Law reports:

    That will include a return of surprise raids of companies suspected of employing unauthorized immigrant workers already promised by former acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement director and Trump “border czar” pick Tom Homan. Employers will also see stepped up I-9 audits that could be just as disruptive for many companies.

    “This enforcement may come fast, unannounced and really without much warning,” said Scott Bettridge, chair of the immigration practice at Cozen O’Connor PC.

Such ICE raids are critical to enforcing federal immigration law, experts have long argued, as some nine million migrants are estimated to be holding American jobs today. Illegal aliens are particularly vulnerable to unscrupulous employers who steal their wages and require them to work long, grueling hours, often in dangerous jobs that can easily turn fatal.

Well, First it is against the law for them to do it anyway.

Secondly, the majority are bound to have fake SS IDs in order to work, obviously illegal.

They should routinely bring criminal charges against these employers.

No sympathy here.

Businesses employing illegal aliens are violating the law.  They should expect more than worksite enforcement.  They should expect warrants, arrests, and indictments.

A common methodology has developed by employers that easily enable them to hire almost nothing but illegals.

I did a consulting gig in California for a plant that had 380 employees, easily  360 of them were illegals.  The way the employers get around it all is using an outside firm to do the screening and selection.  That way they can claim they did not hire an illegal employee because the person was screened by company X.

Bottomline, many companies are using illegal aliens, and technically legal aliens for white collar jobs, but almost all of them are in the jobs violating federal law.  Past administrations have violated the law routinely, including the prior Trump administration.  And he promises tech billionaires in Silicon Valley to increase the H1-b Visa recipients, which is in direct violation of federal law in how it is currently used.

But there is zero representation for the working people of America versus legal and illegal aliens flooding into the USA.  I do not see it changing any time soon.
