Immigration Law and Employer Compliance in Washington
March 25, 2008
8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

Immigration is one of the most hotly debated issues facing our country. A critical part of the immigration debate centers around whether we should toughen the enforcement of the employer compliance provisions of the federal immigration laws. The Immigration Reform and Control Act has been in effect since 1986, but enforcement of this law has been sporadic, at best. However, there's an increased push - both on a federal and state level - to devote more efforts to enforcement of the employer compliance laws, and we have recently seen this manifested in raids against employers by Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The state of Colorado called a special session of the State Legislature to deal with immigration, which resulted in several bills being passed dealing with employer compliance. What will the future hold for Washington? Attend this seminar and get up to speed on evolving immigration law and employer compliance issues.

Ryan, Swanson & Cleveland attorney Joel Paget will present at this seminar designed for human resource managers, operations managers, presidents, vice presidents, supervisors, managers, controllers, accountants and attorneys.
