Match game hard on farmers – Immigration

Tagged: ,

“Siding with labor unions, the American Civil Liberties Union and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Judge Charles R. Breyer in San Francisco barred a government rule that would have required employers to fire workers whose Social Security numbers do not match those on the government’s computers.

Assuming that such a complicated case can drag on in the courts, Leitz reckons that a decision could come in six months, and that would be right in the middle of the growing season at his 1,300-acre farm in southwest Michigan.

And if the court takes the government’s side, Leitz also figures he could find himself in a serious fix.”*
