It's really hard to figure out if the White House was just trying to scare people last week or genuinely missed this key part of the equation. If the Social Security Administration doesn't share information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, that's certainly going to make enforcement of the new "no match" rule tougher.
Nevertheless, employers would be foolhardy, in my opinion, to assume they're off the hook. ICE can find out about no match letters as part of a random audit or when investigating a complaint against a company. And any disgruntled employee can put that process in to motion. Furthermore, it seems to me that at some point the SSA could be required to share information with DHS.
