Washington, DC (AHN) – A new employment verification form, the I-9, must be filled out by every employer in the U.S. as part of the country’s battle against immigration document fraud. Its implementation starts Wednesday, although the law creating the form was crafted in 1996.

[Employers haven't bothered to obey the law so far, and our complacent pro- criminal illegal alien invader government hasn't bothered to make employers obey the law, so, makes anyone believe they will start now?]

According to immigration experts, the mandatory use of form I-9 is just the first step in a series of federal initiatives to cut down the number of documents used to verify employment.

[That’s right, our government and corporations want to make it easier for criminal illegal alien invaders to continue their crimes spree against law abiding legitimate US citizens]

Chris Bentley, spokesman of the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, said, "We’re anticipating a smooth transition from the old form to the new one." He added, "It’s the one we’ve publicized to the employer community, one they know is coming, and it’s as simple as downloading the new form and using that as of the 26th."

The implementation of the new form has been delayed by 10 years due to the transition of the government agency overseeing immigration from the old Immigration and Naturalization Service to the USCIS.

[Tens years to transition? More like until the simmering anger by law abiding legitimate US citizens boiling to the surface over the cheap criminal illegal alien labor stealing jobs and driving down wages, we never bothered to transition at all]

Form I-9 has been out and effective November 7, but it became mandatory December 26. Wal-Mart, the U.S.’ largest employer with 1.3 million workers, said it already began using the new form, according to Wal-Mart spokeswoman Sharon Weber.

[Sure they are...and I'm Boudiccia, Queen of the Iceni]

The new form dropped as a requirement certificates of U.S. citizenship and naturalization, which are easily faked. It retains 5 documents to establish employee identity and employment eligibility, including the U.S. passport and permanent resident card.

[Not that companies even bother to verify an immigrant's work documentation; Our government dropped two forms of I.D. because they can be easily faked. Yet, our government in its pro-criminal illegal alien complaceny wants us to believe that US passports and permanent residence cards cannot be faked or perhaps are harder to fake and that certainly warrants dropping them]

All new employees hired after November 7, 2007 must fill up the new form. Existing employees whose old I-9 files are still intact do not need to fill up the new form. The implementation of the I-9 form did not affect the amount of penalty imposed on U.S. employers who are caught hiring illegal immigrants. The fine is from $250 to $2,000 for that offense, while paperwork errors will be meted a fine of $100 to $1,000.

[So, for the current criminal illegal alien invaders committing further crimes by using bogus documentation to work, no problemo. And for the criminal illegal alien invaders newly hired, the fine for employer "paper work errors" (translated: caught knowingly using criminal illegal alien bogus documentation) the un-implemented fines remain the same. The bottom line with the revised I-9 is that not a damn thing has changed]
