Obama eases penalties for businesses hiring illegal immigrants - Washington Times
"The Obama administration regularly cuts a break for businesses that hire illegal immigrants, reducing their fines by an average of 40 percent from what they should be, according to an audit released Tuesday that suggests the government could be doing more to go after unscrupulous employers.
According to the audit, conducted by the Homeland Security Departments inspector general, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement cut one businesss fine from $4.9 million to slightly more than $1 million a 78 percent drop.
Investigators said the reduction is legal, but it may be undercutting the administrations goal of getting tough on businesses that hire illegal immigrants."
Obama once again talking out both sides of his mouth. One, he is pandering to big business which he regularly "criticizes". Two, he claims to get tough on businesses for hiring illegals while reducing their fine for doing so. Why? Money, votes and power. When are the Dems going to realize that the nation is being sold down the river?
