I hate to link from cnsnews.com, because they’re so far to the right that skeptical readers will question their credibility. But they link to and summarize a report on the sheer numbers of illegal workers using false ID. Wow.
Here’s an excerpt:
The audit discovered that the employer with the very worst record for filing no-match W-2s had filed 117,792 over the three years—an average of 39,246 no-match W-2s per year.
The employer with the highest percentage of no-match W-2s had filed them at a 98-percent rate.
Privacy restrictions prevent the various government agencies involved from talking to each other, but, beyond that, it certainly illustrates the lack of interest in enforcement, if the federal government knows of employers who employ illegal workers on a massive scale, and no one does anything about it. Certainly, this is another reason to be skeptical of “comprehensive” reformers’ assurances that if only we pass amnesty one more time, they’ll enforce new laws against future illegal immigration — if we can’t even enforce laws currently on the books.
