Employers Raising Red Herring?
« Thread Started on Aug 5, 2006, 3:21pm »

For most of my life, I have been a small business owner. I know the ropes, and know it is NOT THAT HARD to ascertain how legal your employees are. Contrary to what many say, it seems to me that the real issue is, that business want CHEAP LABOR, and the cheapest labor out there happens to be illegal laborers in our work force, who are depressing the lower and middle class wage base by over $200 Billion a year.

It seems to me, that the National Chamber of Commerce, and various business concerns are trotting out a red herring in claiming ID verification is too onerous on the business owner. How can they have no problems with pre employment drug screening, yet claim foul at verifying someones RIGHT TO HAVE A JOB?

Immigration reform worries Hispanic business owners

Hispanic business owners in Texas are afraid they'll find more stick than carrot in the immigration reform being considered in Washington, D.C., many of them said Friday in El Paso.
About 100 business leaders crowded in a meeting room during the Texas Association of Mexican-American Chambers of Commerce convention to make their concerns known about proposed increased penalties for employers who hire undocumented immigrants.

Joe Cisneros, president and CEO of the Corpus Christi Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, said small-business owners in his area struggle to find enough workers to fill their needs.

"It's a challenge to find qualified workers. They (businesses) are expanding, landing hot new contracts and they have to take what they can find in terms of work force, especially in rural Texas," Cisneros said. "A lot of the time, we have become 'no ask, no tell.' We fill I-9 (employment eligibility verification forms), pay our taxes and live the American Dream."
