We do have laws against hiring illegal immigrants, but there has not been a way for immigration or law enforcement to just walk in a building and check status of citizenship, although Sheriff Joe was the only one with balls to enforce what little law we have.
I think the biz owners get a warning and then are fined a minimal amount on the second offense.
And there have been restrictions in the law which tied law enforcements hands to really do their jobs when it came to busting those who hire illegal immigrants…..not any more
This is another area where strict laws need to be in place and they are not! And employers need to be busted hard, but they are not. The fines for this offense are not hard enough to make people think twice.
I feel it should be treated just as tough as a drug busts.
1. If an employer is caught hiring illegal immigrants he should have to forfeit his business lic along with contractors lic and not be allowed to ever own operate a business again in the U.S.
2. He should be fined per illegal immigrant he hires.
3. And all assets from the company to be confiscated and sold at auction.
This may not be the best law to impose, but you can bet if an employer values his right to run and own a company ever again and the fact knowing that he will lose everything associated to that business, he will definitely think twice about breaking the law.
You are right, take away the food source and people will leave and who ever decides to still break the law will be deported. ;)
