Obama Targets Employers in Immigration Crackdown
July 2nd, 2009

Immigration officials announced yesterday they’d begun auditing 652 companies; hiring breaches could mean fines or civil and criminal charges. The new method runs counter to the Bush administration approach, which featured immigration raids and the detainment of hundreds of workers.
