One Third of ICE Fines Are For Paperwork, Not Hiring Illegal Aliens
"An analysis of nearly 800 audit cases ICE completed since October 2010 shows that roughly half of the 117 companies fined were not specifically penalized for hiring illegal immigrants, but for problems with the employment verification paperwork they are required to fill out for new hires," says the Houston Chronicle.
"A third of the total $1.8 million in fines issued by the agency in those closed cases involved companies that auditors found had zero workers with 'suspect documents,' the records show."
