When Only The Truth Will Do

ICE is Increasing the Number of I-9 Inspections

ICE, the U.S. Immigration and Customer Enforcement, is being more proactive in pursing organizations as they have come to realize that businesses are being increasingly slack in their pre-employment verifications of Social Security Numbers. Without proper due diligence, you can put your business at risk. Just last month, the ICE Assistant Secretary John Morton announced a list of 1000 more businesses scheduled for an audit of their hiring practices.
