E-Verify!!!!! We keep ignoring that. The owners of that company should be liable for 50k$ an illegal head.
This could be repeated 10 times a day in every state. There would be no illegal problem if American employers obeyed existing laws.
>>criminal charges are expected to include tax evasion and identity theft
If true fines were applied for each violation, they’d be out of business.
I agree with you. This wasn’t accidental; it was deliberate and they should be made an example of. If your business plan relies on illegal labor then you need to find a new way of doing things or a new line of business.
Yup-and what about the property owners who rent to them? Aren’t they breaking law as well?
Agree 100%.
I’ve heard from an extremely reliable source that a fairly large employer in south central MN (would give name but don’t want to break any libel laws) has secret rooms on the job site into which illegals are herded when ICE comes.
If it’s happening here, it’s happening elsewhere. Don’t think employers care too much about E-Verify. Hiring illegals must be worth the risk.
E-Verify is THE best tool to highly reduce illegal immigration. I was an owner of 3 companies and CEO of 2 in the 90's. E-Verify was required on EVERY hire. Not sure when it stopped being a Fedgov requirement. Clinton, Bush, Obama?
No jobs - few illegals. It's the simple answer to this issue. Although, the illegal industry has created a highly successful false I.D. system, just increase penalties to companies who don't use the system or accept false documents. It worked at the time, it can work again. I remember daily ICE raids on companies that didn't use the system or were proven to accept fraudulent docs.
Of course there would be the same problems with our stupid judicial system of catch and release; chain migration; over-stayed Visas, weak asylum laws, and dropping out a kid on US soil.
