DETROIT – Any immigration law that eventually emerges from Congress is likely to contain more employer responsibilities and sanctions.
It?s anybody?s guess what the ultimate configuration of immigration reform will be once the political dust settles. But it is safe to assume that the days of minimal liability for hiring undocumented workers will start to fade away, says Louis DeSipio, assistant professor of political studies and Latino studies at the University of California, Irvine.
“There will be a greater onus on the shoulders of companies to be more careful in their employment practices,” DeSipio says.
This increased liability will, in all likelihood, bolster workforce management-related expenses. Just how dramatic the rise will be remains to be seen, but DeSipio contends that the main costs will probably be embedded in the additional bureaucracy of hiring employees, closer monitoring of subcontractors and potential increases in payroll.
