Whether you are a large employer or a small family-owned business, you are required to comply with the federal immigration laws related to hiring and employment. What was a “slap on the wrist” or almost zero enforcement against employers in 2004-2005 has turned 180 degrees this year.

Ethical Dimensions of Business Immigration Practice
Immigration lawyers are confronted frequently by ethical issues, particularly in the context of representing employer and employee clients in business immigration matters that involve dual representation. As immigration lawyers progress into the broader role of advising companies on compliance issues, a whole host of new ethical issues arise. This is especially true where the lawyer has consulted with employees at the request of the employer and learned adverse information which could be damaging to the employer.
ICE Launches Workplace Immigration Crackdown
Earlier this year, the Obama administration broke with a previous policy that targeted undocumented workers for deportation, and implemented instead a strategy to go after U.S. employers hiring illegal immigrants.

Women entrepreneurs fall victim in part to economic abuse due to familial socialization from the time of birth. From a tender age, socialization which is the process of inheriting norms, customs and ideologies differentiates girls from boys.

Are you providing what people want or are you trying to provide what you think people need?
The Australian Government is currently and desperately trying to make law what they think people need in immigration, dealing with climate change, gambling, and in a host of other areas. They are failing miserably because they do not listen to what stakeholders actually want. I am staggered by the amount of business owners I meet who try and build a business around what they think people need, rather than providing what people want.

Beyond worldviews; complexities in geographical terrain, language, laws, and customs should all be considered.
