Lunch 101: A Focus on Immigration 11-2-11

Lunch 101: A Focus on Immigration is being presented by Kelly Harrison, Special Agent, U.S. Department of Homeland Security. 

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is the largest law enforcement agency within the Department of Homeland Security.  ICE's primary mission is the criminal and civil enforcement of federal laws governing border control, customs, trade, and immigration. Effective worksite enforcement plays an important role in the fight against illegal immigration. ICE has developed a comprehensive worksite enforcement strategy that promotes national security, protects critical infrastructure and targets employers who violate employment laws or engage in abuse or exploitation of workers. ICE also works with the private sector to educate employers about their responsibilities to hire only authorized workers and how to accurately verify employment eligibility. This seminar will discuss current laws pertaining to the Form I-9, independent contractors and Form 1099, and updates to North Carolina laws pertaining to E-Verify.
