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 Department’s inspector general, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement cut one business’s 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 administration’s 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?
 
no surprise here; and the Left has the gall to accuse the Right of wanting corporations to use the labor if illegal immigrants.
Dems know they will have to pander to anybody and everybody they can; all their special interests; at the expense of average Americans; it they are to have a chance holding onto power

$4 million seem to be a little excessive anyway.

What Are the Penalties For Hiring An Illegal Immigrant?
For first offenders, there is a $250-$2,000 fine per illegal employee.

For a second offense, the fine is $2,000-$5,000 per illegal employee.

For employers who have been convicted of hiring illegal immigrants more than twice, the fine can range from $3000-$10,000 per employee. If the employer demonstrates a pervasive pattern of knowingly employing illegal immigrants, he or she could face additional fines, and up to six months in jail.

Quickest way to turn a Red State Blue is flood it with illegals.

It worked in California.
