U.S. to get tougher on employers of illegal immigrants

“In a new effort to crack down on illegal immigrants, federal authorities in the United States are expected to announce rules this week that would require employers to fire workers who use false Social Security numbers.

Officials said the rules would be backed up by increased raids on workplaces across the country that employ illegal immigrants.

After first proposing the rules last year, Homeland Security officials said they held off finishing them to await the outcome of the debate in Congress over a sweeping immigration bill.”
