Immigration Crackdown: Obama Administration Cracks Down on Illegal Immigrants’ Employers

The president seems to have found his "middle ground" - crack down on employers and ask the Republicans for favors. 

Obama Administration Cracks Down on Illegal Immigrants’ Employers - NYTimes.com: "Obama administration officials are sharpening their crackdown on the hiring of illegal immigrants by focusing increasingly tough criminal charges on employers while moving away from criminal arrests of the workers themselves.

... the scope of the administration’s strategy has become clear as long-running investigations of employers have culminated in indictments, convictions, exponentially increased fines and jail sentences. While conducting fewer headline-making factory raids, the immigration authorities have greatly expanded the number of businesses facing scrutiny and the cases where employers face severe sanctions."
