Industry Leaders Want Lege to Fight "Payroll Fraud"

 
Below is an article that appeared in The Texas Tribune. It is about a guest worker program and fraud. With law makers and others talking about ways to allow illegals to remain in the U.S.A. and make them viable contributors to the economy, we need to first think of the MILLIONS of U.S.A. citizens who ARE out of work and not contributing.
  
WHY again is it better to give some sort of legal status to illegals who can continue to steal work away form U.S.A. citizens, especially U.S.A. Veterans?  
WHY? 
  
WHY not put U.S.A. citizens back to work, deport those in the U.S.A. who can not prove financial responsibility and/or are otherwise keeping U.S.A. citizens, especially U.S.A. Veterans from working, then enforce the rules and procedures that have been in place for a very long time? After the economy is back in shape, allow others to apply the correct way to enter and work.
WHY?


I-9 forms are absolutely useless in correctly stating and tracking a persons true legal status. Non-checked!

Industry Leaders Want Lege to Fight "Payroll Fraud"

 By Julián Aguilar

Tycoons in commercial construction and homebuilding — industries often pegged as harbors for undocumented workers — are pushing back against some of their own, urging state lawmakers to close a loophole that guards employers against knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.

Stan Marek, the president and CEO of the Marek Family of Companies, an interior contracting company with offices statewide, said his industry is rife with contractors who purposely classify employees as subcontractors, or “1099” employees — a term gleaned from the employment form they fill out. Employers use this subcontractor classification to avoid paying payroll taxes, workers' compensation and overtime, Marek said, but also to avoid knowing their workers’ legal status.

Since 2006, Immigrations and Customs Enforcement has ramped up its inspections of I-9 forms, the federal employment eligibility verification. The popular misconception is that ICE deports workers the agency finds are ineligible to work in the U.S., but Marek said that’s not always the case. Many of these terminated workers go into the “underground economy,” he said, working for employers who will classify them as independent contractors.

The end result? Workers who used to be paid hourly wages and taxed on their income are now being paid cash and not contributing to tax rolls, Marek said.

“That, to me, is payroll fraud,” he said. “You have what is called a safe harbor. And that has not been tested in the courts in a long time, and everybody sort of sticks their heads in the sand and ignores it.”

Merek is part of a group of Texas Republicans who were instrumental in convincing the state party to adopt a more immigrant-friendly platform at its recent convention in Fort Worth. The “Texas solution” for immigration reform includes a secure border, alternatives to mass deportations and a national guest worker program.

But more can also be done at the state level, the group says. Marek and his colleagues will lobby the state Legislature to convince lawmakers to give the Texas Workforce Commission additional resources to aid in detecting what they consider to be payroll fraud. They argue that if the commission is granted an increase in resources for this task, it will mean a massive return on investment in the form of tax dollars paid by employers. A lot of those tax dollars are federal, Marek concedes, but the state certainly would see an uptick in revenue if employers paid what they were supposed to.

Marek isn’t alone in this thinking. The liberal Center for American Progress recently issued a report suggesting that legalizing undocumented workers would be a major boon to the state economy — to the tune of about $4.1 billion in annual tax revenue.

Other groups are less convinced. Numbers USA, a group that seeks to reduce legal and illegal immigration, says U.S. citizens should be the first priority. In 2011, the group notes, 1.5 million people aged 25 or younger with bachelor’s degrees were unemployed or underemployed.

That isn’t lost on the Texas businessmen. John Kafka, the owner of Chamberlin Roofing and Waterproofing, which has offices in Texas and Oklahoma, said addressing payroll fraud extends beyond correcting unscrupulous business practices.

“It’s not only an issue with undocumented workers but generally people who can’t defend themselves or are generally uneducated,” he said. “If we enforce the laws across the board, we would cure what ails us.”

A component of that lawbreaking includes employers reducing the wages they pay to people who don’t know they are being abused, or who are afraid to speak out.

“Legitimate business owners have to compete with that,” Kafka said. “The vast majority of construction work is awarded on a bid. If you have a low price, you’re going to get the work. What you end up doing is depressing the wages for the American worker.”

Marek said he has spoken with some state lawmakers who seemed amenable to the legislation. But he acknowledges that it won’t be an easy sell.

“We’ll probably push just on the commercial side because we’d get tremendous pushback from the homebuilding industry and the apartment association,” he said.



Below are some - but we have a list of many -of the businesses and others operating in the U.S.A. who may pay by cash and/or hire illegals and/or non-USA citizens, as well as, others that may be taking part in defrauding the U.S.A. and its citizens:

Mr. Luculano has been known to employ illegals and pays by cash. It was last known that he employs an older man - Pedro - from Honduras and pays him at the end of each day cash. The man is in the U.S.A., and sends his money home. Does he pay the correct taxes, Brad Luculano?

John Doug Hartnett of McLean, Virginia trolls for non-USA workers at Seven Corners Shopping Center and has displayed to be spiritually & mentally corrupt. More coming, but for now go here: http://americansnotwanted.blogspot.com/2012/09/innocence-of-muslims-by-sam-bacile.html
In the video below, John Doug Hartnett expresses rage. Does he display spiritual and mental corruptness? Are you safe with this man working about your home and/or business and/or around your children? Who does he bring with him? Are they with good morals, ethics, character and/or legally in the U.S.A.? You sure? Absolutely sure? Many watched John Doug Hartnett do this horrible act. They stay silent, WHY? Illegally in the U.S.A., criminals and/or ...?
More coming on this nasty man and those who are not for the U.S.A.!

Video of John Doug Hartnett's apparent spiritual and mental corruptness.

And below is the video should YouTube be tricked into removing this again.
What part of Truth do they seek to keep you from?
In any event, follow and keep up with this article of Corruption and others here:

Scroll down to see the video via another channel. YouTube removed this video since it is too informative and with truth.
WHY do law enforcement not do their sworn duty?
WHY do they pick and choose who they will abuse?
 



From the pics & information AnotW posted above, can anyone honestly state to U.S.A. citizens that many of those non-USA citizens and/or others can prove financial responsibility to be allowed to remain in the U.S.A. and/or are actually helping the U.S.A. and its citizens? It is not about racial profiling that the liberal Department of Justice is brainwashing people with. It is simply about right and wrong, and hurting U.S.A. citizens so others can take part in profit/gain/control which is just wrong. OK?
WHY doesn't law enforcement do their sworn duty?
WHY?
WELL?
 

This is just a bit of the harm being done!



Oh my there are so many taking part in hurting the U.S.A.  and its citizens, it is just sad.
