If anyone doubts Secretary Napolitano was serious when she talked about ICE going after employers through investigations, they'll likely be convinced by this press release:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is launching a bold, new audit
initiative today by issuing Notices of Inspection (NOls) to 652 businesses nationwide - which is
more than ICE issued throughout all of last fiscal year. The notices alert business owners that ICE will be inspecting their hiring records to determine whether or not they are complying with
employment eligibility verification laws and regulations. Inspections are one of the most powerful tools the federal government has to enforce employment and immigration laws. This new initiative illustrates ICE's increased focus on holding employers accountable for their hiring practices and efforts to ensure a legal workforce.

No problem the illegals will just go on welfare.

I think they are going to put the business community through some pain to make the point that is better to do CIR. Timing may not be right with the economy as weak as it is, but I guess it can open up some companies for hiring....either way this will bring pain to plenty of people.

Looks like Obama & Co are laying down some solid ground work for the CIR, this coupled with the Police Chiefs call for the immediate need of CIR seems like some strong PR blitzkrieg from Obama & Co, that might just turn the tables on the Antis, what say Greg?
