Passage Five

Companies that employ illegal immigrants are to be named and shamed in a further attempt to crack down on people smuggling.The move by the Home Office comes four months after officials launched a concerted effort to identify and prosecute companies breaking the law.More than 200 companies have already been fined for hiring illegal labor.The Home Office says names of companies and directors are to be published on the UK Border Agency website.The agency will publish how many illegal immigrants the company was employing and how much it was fined.

By May this year there had been 137 prosecutions under the new rules leading to fines totaling500,000--almost 3,000 per firm.The total number of prosecutions was 10 times more than were carried out in 2007,and double the total for the previous decade.

Immigration chiefs are also switching their focus from small-time illegal employers,such as takeaway restaurants,in an effort to major organized criminal enterprises supplying illegal labor,often relying on international networks to smuggle people into the UK.

Some 7,500 immigration officers will be re-organized into more localized teams with police and customs officials in an effort to better target what the Home Office says are illegal working hotspots.

These could include areas of the economy where there is a high demand for labor including agriculture,construction and hospitality.Nobody knows how many people are working without permission in theUK--although estimates put the number of illegal residents at more than 500,000.

Trade Union leaders have also raised concerns about the government's strategy,arguing that it could drive the worst employers further underground,penalizing exceptionally poor workers unable to break out of a situation they did not necessarily choose.

【原文大意】

雇用非法移民的公司在进一步严打偷运人口的行动中将被曝光。这个由内政部发起的行动是在官员统一识别、检举违法公司的四个月之后开始的。超过200家公司已经因雇用非法劳工而受到处罚。内政部宣布，所有违法的公司及其董事的名字将公布在英国边境署的网页上。边境署也将公布该公司所雇用的非法移民人数及其所受的处罚金额。

到今年五月，已经有137个这种案例按照新的规则受到起诉，其处罚数额总数达到50万，几乎平均每个公司是3000。而起诉的总数是2007年的l0倍之多，是过去10年总数的2倍。移民局官员还将他们的重点从小规模的非法雇主，如外卖餐厅，转向了大型的提供非法劳工的犯罪组织。这些组织靠国际网络将人口偷运进英国。

约7500名移民官将被重新组合，插入由警察、海关工作人员组成的地区小组，在内政部所说的非法工作的热点地区明确目标。这些地区包括对劳动力需求高的经济区，如农业、建筑业和餐饮业等。虽然估计的非法居民有50万之多，但究竟有多少没有工作许可的人在英国工作无从知晓。

工会官员也很担心政府的策略，认为这样做可能会迫使最恶劣的雇主转入地下，从而惩罚的是那些无法逃脱这种无能为力的境况的异常贫穷的工人。
