Read the full statement in pdf.

This week the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) issued a final administrative rule that sets new procedures for employers who receive no-match letters from the Social Security Administration (SSA). Employers who do not follow the new rule will risk penalties for hiring unauthorized workers. The Immigration Policy Center has produced a comprehensive analysis of the SSA no-match letter program and the new DHS rule and issued a statement on the ineffectiveness of the program.
