Ping!
I suspect there is a reason for this... For some reason, I think the Feds want to know where the illegals are, while they ramp up a way for going after the illegals for deportation.
But it is still disturbing because it more likely that they are just backing off.
It's easy to determine where the illegals are in California. Just take a look at all the medical clinics that have shut down because they're losing money (since illegals are little but a blackhole-style drain on such resources).
Read later.
Bump for dissemination at a later date.
Does the mandatory health care that kicks in next year in CA cover illegals? perhaps once hospitals start sending uncollectable bills to the employers they will stop hiring them.
This mean that the Latino community and immigrant rights groups care more about assisting lawbreakers (of a specific skin color) than they do about enforcing US law. Fits right in with the "La Raza" and "Azatlan" aspirations.
Cheap workers across the border - good. Cheap prescription drugs across the border - bad.

The other day, I saw a scrawny illegal from a neighboring construction site get very hostile and threatening with one of our security guards, a man who could easily have mopped the pavement with him.
I was called on to translate.
The illegal said he thought the guard was trying to harrass his friends. I informed him that in Texas, private security officers have the same protection as policemen, that is, assaulting one is a first-degree felony and 10+ years in prison. The illegal laughed and said that no "huero" had the guts to fight back. I invited him to back it up and he slunk away.
In my considerable experience, this kind of racism and arrogance is more typical than not for illegals and their citizen-apologists, with the facts of Hispanic bigotry and arrogance laughingly concealed behind the targets' supposed ignorance of the Spanish language, with the liberal double standard helping quite a bit.
This is not to fault the illegals themselves, since racism and bigotry are the default position for ignorant and uneducated people all over the world. Add in a hierachical culture that mistakes kindness for submission and you have a formula for racially motivated hatred and contempt of the rawest kind.
The real fault lies with the educated activists and politicians who allow this to happen. Hispanic political activists are acutely aware of Mexican racism, and will even admit it if you know the language and hold their feet to the fire, but it is part of their racist creed that they are entitled to the benefits of this kind of hypocrisy.
Bush and the Democrats have joined forces to sell this country and degrade its people for cheap labor and cheaper votes respectively.
My advice: learn Spanish (it isn't hard), monitor and report the racism and bigotry of the Spanish language media, and let the invaders from "la raza superior" know that they are being watched by people who know what is really happening.
The Bush tacit amnesty plan in action.
Employers surely get the point: HIRE ILLEGALS
Yeah, no reason for the Islamofascists to attack us and risk killing themselves, all they have to do is cross our porous southern border in sufficient numbers, take all of the jobs that "Americans don't want", have an advocacy group created to to keep the Feds cowering in a corner and before long this will be the Islamic Republic of America.
Good find!
Not to worry. The SSA matches employer W-2 data to SSA master files. Employer W-2 data with bogus / stolen SSNs go into a suspense file. Most of the employers are "traditional" workplaces. But then.. the department doesn't really care, does it? As of 1998 there were some seven million suspect employees and thousands and thousands of employers. It's not a Bush thing. This is not Bush-bashing!
With the new on-line SSN validation system (SSNVS) coming in December we can ask "traditional" workplaces. et al. if they use the system and are their employees legal. Then we can "enforce" the law and "fine" the offenders by avoiding the lawbreakers.
ILLEGAL alien advocates are "troubled." Good chance the Republicrats will cancel the SSNVS -- or at least delay it for another eighteen years.
bump
There is only one appropriate word for the facts reported here: incompetence.
The fines have stopped, because if they start fining employers, the employers stop hiring, the illegals stop coming, and the ones here go home. Can't have that. Republicans need gardeners, and Democrats need votes.
