"This does not mean employers no longer need to complete those pesky I-9s," said Andrew Wilson, a partner at Lippes Mathias Wexler Friedman and co-leader of the firm's Immigration Practice in Buffalo, N.Y. "And no, this does not mean that worksite enforcement is no longer an important policy goal of the DHS. Thorough compliance procedures are still important. For the time being, however, it does mean that the DHS no longer views mass worksite enforcement raids as an effective measure in combatting illegal employment."
