Davis & Associates

Navigating the hazardous waters of US Immigration Law is becoming more and more difficult for employers. The safe harbors that were once in place to protect employers from consequences for hiring unauthorized workers are failing. Raids on employers are becoming more frequent, with a higher incident of management-level employees going to prison for hiring unauthorized workers.

Large companies, including Tyson Foods, Wal-Mart, and numerous other businesses throughout the US, have been raided by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and have thrown the companies into litigation and the local communities into disarray. Penalties for hiring illegal workers range from stiff fines to jail time.

Overly zealous employers who refuse to hire someone they believe has no legal status to work in the US may face discrimination lawsuits – even if the worker was in fact not authorized to work in the US. Employers and their human resources staff much balance the requirements to only hire those authorized to work with the equal protection requirements of the Constitution and federal and state laws. How does a business protect itself from the potential exposure from discrimination lawsuits and from enforcement measures by Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the US Department of Labor?
