Presentation Transcript

  1. INTERIOR ENFORCEMENT • LIA, GIN, OLA, ANDREA, STEPHEN, JESSICA & MARK Date

  2. E-Verify/EEVS • Employers face stiffer penalties for violating law

  3. Penalties • Knowing hiring 10+ workers could lead to imprisonment or fines

  4. Arguments • http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/apr/29/immigration-bill-grants-amnesty-employers-illegals/ • Evidence from the past few years suggests that better enforcement is already having an impact. Demographers have been struck by the rapid decline in illegal immigration as Washington has beefed up its presence on the Mexican border and increased deportations. Also playing a part: the soft economy in the United States and the declining birth rates in Latin America.

  5. Public Reaction • People are pessimistic about government’s own ability to enforce laws • Support is split between legalization and eliminating employment opportunities as ways to solve illegal immigration
