ARE I-9 AUDITS JUST "VIRTUAL RAIDS"?
The White House made a big point of saying that it was now focusing on targeting employers through investigations like the announcement from yesterday regarding the audits of hundreds of employers. The Wall Street Journal reports on the I-9 audits, but one person interviewed for the story notes that audits like this have the same ultimate effect on immigrant workers:
While the new enforcement approach isn't set up to trigger immediate deportations, it is still likely to unsettle immigrant communities.
"The net effect for workers is nearly the same: They lose their economic lifeline. They may not be deported but they may have to relocate," said Craig J. Regelbrugge, the co-chair of Agriculture Coalition for Immigration Reform, an association of agricultural producers.
