I'm an employer in Florida. Employers are legally required to verify eligibility via form I-9. However, I see no real enforcement of this other than occasional roundups by INS at farms. The reason these roundups occur is that the farms are not complying with the law.
We need immigration reform. It is unconscionable that people who grew up here are put in this situation.
I've been thinking the best way to get reform is to force the government to strictly enforce the I-9 requirement. If every business owner was forced to adhere to the law and only hire those legally eligible, they would be in favor of reform as well.
We have a situation where people complain about "illegal immigrants" while silently profiting from them. If the reality of the situation were exposed, I think Republicans would suddenly find themselves in agreement with Democrats about reform.
