			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>The Bush administration just introduced a new regulation that will impose fines on employers if they knowingly hire illegal immigrants. The rule, discussed in our recent story, &#034;<a href="http://money.cnn.com/2007/08/10/magazines/fsb/immigration_regs.fsb/index.htm?postversion=2007081017">U.S. cracks down on hiring of illegal immigrants</a>,&#034; gives companies 90 days to verify an employee&#039;s identity and eligibility to work if his Social Security number doesn&#039;t match information in the Social Security Administration&#039;s database. Is this reasonable to ask of small companies? Or does it put too much burden on them? Comment here.</p>
