How many times on this forum have we heard, that our problems with hiring illegal immigrants will go away, if the laws are implemented?
Until recently, if a social security number didn't match, an employer would have to get ten no matches before having to do anything about it. Since the immigration/amnesty bill didn't pass, the government is FINALLY trying to crack down on employers by making them report each and every 'no match' social security number. That was supposed to go into effect on Sept. 14th.
Well, guess who stepped in and now has a court order not to implement this law?
You guessed it. The ACLU!
The lawsuit seeks a court order halting implementation of the so-called "no match" rule, which is slated to go into effect Sept. 14. American Civil Liberties Union spokeswoman Stella Richardson said the plaintiffs hope to schedule a hearing before a federal judge in San Francisco as early as Thursday on their request for a temporary restraining order. The Department of Homeland Security rule is one of several administrative immigration enforcement measures announced by the Bush Administration earlier this month after Congress failed to pass an immigration reform law. It requires employers to give workers 90 days to fix problems with social security numbers that don't match information in the Social Security Administration database.

How in the world are laws going to work if they’re fought every inch of the way?
