Do you think employers that employ illegal aliens should face sanctions?

Answer 1

Yes I do,they should be tried under our existing laws .They need to also be made to pay for the cost of deporting the illegal aliens that they employed..The federal law against the employment of illegals must be enforced with zero tolerance.Make them pay dearly for the cost of their hiring practices of "cheap labor"To help stop the illegal alien you must take away the bait,the lure of a job,then you can stop the illegal from coming to this country.

Answer 2

Silly Rabbit,
of course not. That would mean that we would actually have to ENFORCE the laws that are already on the books. If we enforced the law then we wouldn't have this problem and then what would the lawmakers do? They would be out of a job. Now we couldn't have that could we?
You see back in the 80's we had this exact same problem but on a much smaller scale. We had 3 million illegal aliens. Our brilliant lawmakers solved the problem by making them legal.... With one stroke of the pen the U.S. no longer had a illegal alien problem because now they were all legal.
Gee no wonder we pay them the big bucks.
The employer sanction thing was NEVER supposed to be actually enforced. That was just a ploy to keep the citizens happy.
OK we will do this just one time and that's it...silly us We believed them,
20 years later we now have the same problem except 5 times worse and 10 times as costly.. Unfortunately our lawmakers have'nt got any smarter or they think we the people are STUPID, because they want to do the exact same thing. Wave the magic wand and abra cadabra all the illegals are gone. They are now legal.
Good job Teddy, pour yourself another.

THE FACT IS
that there is already a federal statutory framework in place
which specifically prohibits the hiring of illegal aliens,
which provides record keeping rules
to verify an employee’s work authorization and identity,
and which provides for monetary sanctions (Fines)
to be levied against employers
who violate the provisions of the law.

THE FACT IS
that Illegal Aliens work in every sector of our country,
siphoning jobs from Americans
and depressing wages for the working poor and the middle class
yet employer sanctions go largely unenforced by our government.

THE FACT IS that big business,
which has provided massive financial support
to the Bush Administration,
and which benefits from hiring illegal aliens
and paying them cheap wages
while skirting employer tax and record keeping obligations,
does not want “employer sanctions” enforced.

THE FACT IS
that the Bush Administration has had the responsibility
for “cracking down on employers who hire illegal aliens”
and has failed miserably
to enforce existing “employer sanction” laws.

CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN
WHY THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION HAS ALLOWED
THE NUMBER OF FINES AGAINST EMPLOYERS
WHO UNLAWFULLY HIRE ILLEGAL ALIENS
TO FALL
FROM 400 IN 1999
TO ONLY THREE (3) IN 2004?

THE FACT IS
that there are ALREADY laws on the books
providing for the deportation of illegal aliens,
whether they are simply here illegally,
which, of course, is a crime in and of itself,
or whether they have committed additional crimes as well.

Answer 4

Absolutly. No question about it. They are using people to pad their bank roll.

I have NOTHING against making a profit. When you have an education and front the money and take the risk...you are entitled to a profit. But when that profit exceedes what you have put in and risked....then it's time to pass the wealth down. That used to be the norm. It's not anymore. These are greedy people that don't need the wealth. They just take coz they can. It used to be that you hoped to leave the world in a better state than when you got there. These multi-BILLION dollar people aren't doing that. Whether you are relegious or esoteric...you never leave a person, place, or thing, in worse shape than which you found it.

Answer 5

Employers that knowingly hire illegals should be severely punished -especially large companies. I am confident that once this is done some sort of equitable legal means for these workers to be here will be arrived at. Until now they get the benefit of cheap labor with little consequence while the illegals get the consequences and little benefit.

Answer 6

the only reason they might hire illegals is to maintain money on taxes and via paying decrease wages. they're all appropriate to the base line, so hit em the place it hurts, of their base line. effects for tax evasion/ fraud may be a stable initiate. it is going to be an enforced penalty. I artwork interior the form marketplace and function considered firsthand what number roles are lost to illegals. Its consistently thrilling to work out what happens while "l. a. Migra" drops via the job website, the roofers all seem to oddly vanish... hmmm.The employers are ingesting up the lack of enforcement/effects for hiring them and each and all of the mutually as putting us out of jobs. There desires to be some strict enforcement, and a few intense profile, intense loss effects for employers of illegals. perchance then, they'll think of two times.

Answer 7

Yes. They should lose their business licenses...and all of their profits should be seized by the government to foot the bill for the deportation of all of the illegal aliens and their families. And, any social services that these families took advantage of while they were here should also be reinbursed with these funds.

Answer 8

Yes... they hire illegal immigrants to avoid taxes, workmens comp, and so they can pay employees less. They arent trying to help the person out just themselves. If all employeers would stop hiring illegals then the illagals would have to becaome legal to get a job which would solve most of the problem.

Answer 9

Certainly! Employers who hire illegal aliens are breaking the law. They hire these individuals and pay them next to nothing, this brings the economy down.

Answer 10

Heck yeah!! If nobody would hire them they would have less reason to come. Even if they are making below minimum wage it can still be 4-5 times more than they make in Mexico. And if your family depended on what you brought/sent home, wouldnt you risk coming into a country that didnt enforce their own immigration laws therefore allowing you to do what you have to do??!! But if nobody would hire them, the appeal of a job and money would be gone.
