California without a Mexican – Workplace enforcement without immigration reform will cripple the economy — and it will be Joe Public’s fault.
Tagged: border, border patrol, California, Film, social security numbersPosted on: August 28th, 2007“The 2004 film “A Day Without a Mexican” was a political satire: an exaggerated fantasy about what would happen in California if all the immigrant workers suddenly disappeared. But now it seems that life may imitate art. Federal immigration authorities are readying a new enforcement tool that could indeed, if applied effectively, all but cripple the California economy.
A new fence? A massive influx of Border Patrol agents? A fleet of airborne drones? No. The new weapon is a simple two-page letter that will go out next month to companies whose employees’ names and Social Security numbers do not match those on record at the Social Security Administration.”
