THE REAL PURPOSE OF EMPLOYERS' SANCTIONS
Throughout our country's history, laws have been passed in the name of protecting American workers, when in reality they serve to divide working people, criminalize a group of workers, and maintain a cheap pool of labor in this country. (See timeline). The purported intent of employer sanctions was to deter illegal immigration and to protect American jobs by targeting the demand for undocumented workers. Yet, government, community groups, labor unions, and scholars recognize that employer sanctions has accomplished neither goal. Employer's Sanctions: |
