From the Paper:

"The government's ability to impose and collect fines and penalties that support its departmental operations prove to be an incentive for aggressive enforcement. Human resource personnel must be diligent in hiring practices, and ensure that compliance is met on behalf of the organization they work for. The government is not going to accept an excuse of vagueness in law and reporting requirements as an excuse for non-compliance. However, the best approach seems to be wrapped up in the I-9 form. This form seems to be more important than any other in ensuring the compliance of an organization in attempting to accurately verify the status of new hires."
