Judge blocks crackdown on hiring of illegals

A federal judge in San Francisco yesterday blocked plans by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration to crack down on employers who hire illegal aliens.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer issued an order saying the agencies could not go forward with plans announced in August to send letters warning employers they face stiff penalties — including fines of up to $10,000 — if they hire workers whose Social Security numbers do not match their names.
Judge Breyer, appointed by President Clinton in 1997, said the new work-site rules likely would impose hardships on businesses and their workers, adding that the plaintiffs had "demonstrated they will be irreparably harmed" if the rules are enforced.
The judge, the younger brother of Supreme Court Justice Stephen G. Breyer, issued a preliminary injunction that will remain in effect until a pending lawsuit challenging the rules goes to trial sometime next year or until a higher court intervenes. The plaintiffs in the suit include the AFL-CIO, the American Civil Liberties Union, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a number of other business, labor and immigration-activist groups.
In August, Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff said the new rules required the verification of documents by employers, adding that they would be reinforced by increased raids on workplaces that employ an estimated 6 million illegal workers.
Yesterday, Mr. Chertoff said although the judge rejected many of the plaintiffs' legal challenges, the department was "disappointed" in the ruling. He said the department is reviewing the decision with the Justice Department and "will examine all of our options, including appeal."
Mr. Chertoff said President Bush has made it clear that the Department of Homeland Security is going to do as much as it can within the boundaries of the law to further secure the nation's borders and enforce immigration laws.
"Today's ruling is yet another reminder of why we need Congress to enact comprehensive immigration reform," Mr. Chertoff said. "The American people have been loud and clear about their desire to see our nation's immigration laws enforced."
