As a longtime supporter of comprehensive immigration reform, I am more optimistic than ever about a real solution coming out of Washington. The partisanship and ideology surrounding the issue are melting away, replaced by pragmatism and a realization that we cannot continue the status quo.
As a conservative Republican businessman, I’ve been disappointed over the years to see many in my own party become intractable on the issue. But there are real leaders emerging who want to set aside the divisions of the past, roll up their sleeves and craft reform that improves our economy and corrects years of social injustice. GOP Texas Reps. Ted Poe, Sam Johnson, John Carter and Pete Olson all now support comprehensive reform that includes a robust guest worker program.
Despite this hope, I am concerned that one huge piece of the puzzle might be lost in the shuffle. There are far too many workers now who are not only undocumented but are also the victims of payroll fraud. This kind of fraud is also known as worker misclassification.
NPR recently called it a “fundamental sickness.” It cited a recent study by the University of Texas that found more than 40 percent of construction workers in Texas are misclassified. In addition, more than 60 percent of workers have no workers’ compensation, nor do they receive overtime pay for long hours.
