DHS Announces New Immigration Enforcement Strategy
On Friday, the Department of Homeland Security announced significant changes to its immigration regulations. These include: requiring through a �rule making process� that all federal contractors and vendors verify the legal work status of their employees through the federal verification system; reducing the number of documents employers could accept to confirm the identity and eligibility of an employee; seeking voluntary partnerships with states that would allow the federal government to access photographs in Department of Motor Vehicle databases.
