Employers Fight Tough Measures On Immigration
Today's New York Times has an excellent article about employers fighting tougher immigration laws. This is presenting a dilemma for certain politicians who want to appear tough on immigration but soft on big business. Most lawyers who are involved with immigration saw this impasse coming long ago --you just can't have it both ways. Politicians can't get illegal immigrants out of the country without cracking down on the employers who hire them. And now the politicians are going to have to choose between getting the votes of the tough-on-immigrants citizens or getting the donations of the we-need-employees business owners.
