Number: R40002 Title: Immigration-Related Worksite Enforcement Performance Measures Authors: Andorra Bruno, Specialist in Immigration Policy Abstract: Questions arise as to how rigorous and effective DHS's worksite enforcement efforts have been overall. The department maintains data on several measures that can be used to examine the performance of its worksite enforcement program. Enforcement activity by the Department of Labor (DOL) is also relevant to a discussion of federal efforts to address unauthorized employment. DOL, which is responsible for enforcing minimum wage, overtime pay, and related requirements, focuses a significant percentage of its enforcement resources on a group of low-wage industries that employ large numbers of immigrant-and presumably large numbers of unauthorized-workers.
