The first rules would have required employers to fire workers if
their Social Security numbers didn't match records and if the
discrepancies couldn't be resolved within 90 days.
But last month, a federal judge in San Francisco issued a
temporary injunction to stop the Bush administration from enforcing
the rules. The judge said errors in the Social Security database
could cost many legal workers their jobs. And he said the
government hadn't properly studied the effect of the rules on
businesses.
The government has told the judge it can have new rules on
enforcing immigration laws in the workplace ready by spring. He's
giving the administration until March 24th.

Folks like that judge in California are what is wrong with this country. They can’t figure out if a social security number is valid within 90 days???? they can check your credit in minutes. IF they are illigal ship them and the dependents now living off our tax dollars back to where they came from. I can’t believe this would happen in California of all places....lol
