Enforcement of Immigration Control by Employment Laws?by Margaret Hull |
It's
no secret that, although it has been against the law to employ undocumented
immigrants since 1986, the law is virtually ignored and jobs are what drive most
of the immigrants to enter the United States. Although many advocates of
immigration enforcement focus on the need to secure the border, eliminating the
"job magnet" would likely be a more effective means of controlling illegal
immigration. Employers certainly do not currently live in fear of ICE when they
employ illegal aliens, but all employers must provide the IRS with the Social
Security numbers of all of their employees, even those that are illegally
employed. The IRS then provides these Social Security numbers to the Social
Security Administration and sometimes informs employers if there are any
discrepancies. Taking this process a step further could eliminate the incentive
of many illegal immigrants to enter the country in a fairly simple way. If the
IRS also informed ICE of these discrepancies, ICE could eliminate this problem
by visiting employers and employees who fail to straighten out any problems with
the local Social Security office. However, the Social Security Administration
and IRS refuse to share this information with immigration authorities citing
privacy provisions in the laws, though nothing in our Social Security laws
prevents the sharing of Social Security numbers as evidence of a possible
crime.

“The principal beneficiaries of our current immigration
policy are affluent Americans who hire immigrants at substandard wages for
low-end work. Harvard economist George Borjas estimates that American workers
lose $190 billion annually in depressed wages caused by the constant flooding
of the labor market at the low-wage end.” Christian Science Monitor
