What's up with this? Aren't Democrats supposed to WANT employer enforcement?

Question

"A major Cincinnati company threatened with criminal sanctions by a key House Democrat if it terminates any of its 32,000 employees over the validity of their Social Security numbers says it hasn't fired anyone.
"All employers, including Cintas, have a legal obligation to ensure that all employees are legally authorized to work in the United States," said Mr. Wallner, whose company is the nation's largest uniform supplier. "Cintas has not and will not fire anyone simply because an individual has a mismatch problem with the Social Security Administration (SSA)."
Mr. Wallner said about 400 Cintas workers have received "no-match" letters from the SSA -- issued when a person's name and Social Security number on payroll records do not match. They have been given two months to correct the problem and then would be put on administrative leave until the matter is resolved."

Mr. Thompson of Mississippi, the ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee and its expected next chairman, warned the company in a letter Nov. 2 that it could be charged with "illegal activities in violation of state and federal law" if any employees are terminated because they gave incorrect Social Security numbers to be hired.
"It is my understanding that hundreds of Cintas' immigrant workers have received these letters," Mr. Thompson wrote. "I am extremely concerned about any potentially discriminatory actions targeting this community."

The rules are that you are supposed to give a period of time to correct the error, then terminate. If an employer doesn't, they are subject to enforcement, themselves. So what is this guy up to?

--I dispute whether current productivity at the expense of future ability to compete (dependant on quality education) is really an economic blessing.

Answer 1

Just as I said the democrats tell the people what they want to here then when they are in their memories fail. Yeah they are supposed to be for the american working class. RIGHT

Answer 2

Economist would say, this is dead weight in the economy to ensure every worker is a legal citizen. Update the computer system there always people around to update the sophistication to evade those systems. Its a cat and mouse game, and administrative costs to enforce the laws will drive down economic productivity in the long run. Were all becoming paper chasers now days, and walking right into a government control smoke screen. Employers will cheat the system even if caught hiring people without proper documents was life in prison. Document mills are up and running all over the world people by nature innovate around any government control. Will be denying poor legal citizens the right to work since some of them don't own driver licenses, and birth certiciates in some juristications takes weeks to get a hold of. The person gets caught giving the employer a fake one, no big deal, I can go buy one from a American citizen retiring who has no need for his or her social security card, or even dead people leave SS numbers that could be used.

Answer 3

If you think Democrats or Republicans give a damn about
America or Americans you are living in a world of fantasy along with 90% of everyone else.
The SS problems has been going on for a long time. As long as the money comes in they don't care.
One person alone that I know had 135 illegals using her SS number. She lost all her contributions that she put into it.
It is happening to many American especially children under 16 who haven't had job yet.

Answer 4

If the SSN's don't match, that would indicate to me that they are using someone elses SSN, and therefore should be fired. What is wrong with these people now. They are threatening a company with sactions when they are just trying to follow the laws of our country. This country will become a third world country if we don't send the little illegal f.uckers home.

Answer 5

No.

The Dem's want amnesty more than anyone.

Mr. Thompson also said he was going to "Scrap the Fence Bill".

The People have to step in when the government can't govern themselves let alone the country!

America needs to take the first step and impeach Bush and then clean HOUSE!

Answer 6

You misunderstood the democrats. Sorry if you voted for them and didnt understand that they say what they think you want, but dont do as they say. Perhaps next time you will understand this, and vote differently?

Answer 7

he's up to no good. they are using false SS#. and the company knows. they should be fined and lose the company. fine them 10 thousand dollars a head.
