Homeland Security Gives Up SSN “No Match” Policy
GUEST: Lucas Guttentag the Director of the ACLU Immigrant’s Rights Project
In a follow-up to a story we covered recently the Department of Homeland Security asked last Friday that the federal case over Social Security “No Match” letters be suspended. The Bush Administration had originally hoped to use social security records as a tool to enforce immigration laws. Under the proposed “no match” plan, employers would have had to fire workers within ninety days if their social security numbers were unverifiable. But a coalition of labor and immigrant rights groups filed a lawsuit against the proposal on the grounds that it relied on a heavily flawed database. Due to that fact, they contend that thousands of citizens and legal immigrants would be subject to being unjustly fired. Last month, Judge Charles Breyer agreed with them and ordered an indefinite delay to the plan. Without acknowledging any fault, the Department of Homeland Security asked for a stay in the proceedings until March 24th, 2008 so that it could re-write its original plan.
