The government cannot stop illegal immigration on its own, Julie Myers, the head of the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, said today in Kansas City.
It needs businesspeople to keep their eyes open for possible undocumented immigrants working for them, she told hundreds of human relations executives and business leaders attending a labor, employment and benefits symposium put on by law firm Shughart Thomson & Kilroy.
“Your company depends on you,” Myers, a Shawnee native who has led the 16,500-employee agency within the Department of Homeland Security for 2½ years. “Your government also depends on you.”
During her talk at the Overland Park Marriott, Myers said the best way to stop illegal immigration is “drying up the job magnet.”
