What should be the punishment for employers that knowingly hire illegal aliens?

pondering_it_all

Simple fines and jail time would be fine, but they have to be substantial and the US government has to create an instant identity check database first.

Right now, any employer can just claim he believed the worker's fake ID and get away with it. With a real database online, an employer could check out an ID within a couple of minutes BEFORE hiring an illegal alien. They do submit Social Security numbers now, but it takes 2-3 months for the government to tell them it is a fake. There is just no excuse for that!

This is a very simple technical problem. The only reason the solution does not exist, is that the businesses who make all the campaign contributions do not want it!

All of your choices plus loss of citizenship.

Bring back the stocks. Charge people a dollar to throw rotten fruit at the violators while they are in the stocks.

Not the above answers, they should be exile as illegal alien, so that other employers will stop hiring illegal aliens.

Fines are always the most severe punishments to corporations. However, you have to make the fines large enough to actually hurt.

They should be required to write on the board, 300 times,
"I will send my jobs to Mexico."

They should lose their businesses.

fines = to 1yr wages of employee

Jail time for the people that do the actual hiring and huge fines for the company. If there was no jobs for the Illegals they would have no reason to come here.

-heavy fines
-seizure of property
-possible jail time (up to 20 years)

Our jails are full.
The government is currupt.
We need our business secture so why punnish them and weaken our country?
The government pays for eductation and makes us all bear the burden of illlegal allien's education. They should not be given anymore power.

Mandatory military service in Iraq. Minimum service 5 years for each illegal they hire. Sound fair to you?

At a minimum, fines equal to the amount lost in taxes. Of course no one is going to admit they knew.

Thanks to the crackdown on illegal workers, California's $35 billion agriculture industry is in trouble. Thanks to 3 weeks of extremely high temperatures, crops are ripening early and since there's a shortage of labor, many of those crops are dying in the fields.

I expect you'll soon take a break from calling for punishment for companies that hire ilegals to complain about the high prices at the produce section of your local supermarket.

Fines. Lot of fines. They should possibly get that in addition to a warning on their first offense. On the second offense they should lose their business license.

summerglow

it's not your fault but i would pray for those illegal aliens who are trying to make ends meet rather than try to punish their employers. i hope you don't find yourself as a stranger in a strange land. maybe then you would appreciate and learn to love your neighbors. and by the way you need Jesus...

Renegade.

The RICO act should apply. Seizure of any and all assets. The revenue generated from the sale of said assets should be used to fund training and support of the American border patrol.
Just my opinion.
