If US employers are fined and face closure for hiring illegal aliens, why would undocumented workers continue to look for the proverbial greener pastures here?

It is not difficult for them to find work as there as too many employers who are willing to hire them. A lot of people believe that the immigrants are taking jobs away from Americans but that really is not true. They are doing the jobs Americans wont do for the low pay. Government on the state. local and federal levels needs to start being more harsh on employers who hire illegal immigrants. A hefty fine for every illegal working would be a good start and closing down their businesses wouldnt hurt either and it is not just small businesses that hire illegals, large companies also hire them.

Company know they can get caught but don't care. Illegals don't pay any taxes or anything out of their checks. which they don't pay them the same rates we get paid so that helps them save the company money. I know Tysons hires anybody to help save them money. The plant around us has been raided several times and found about 50 or more each time they get hit. So that should tell you company's don't care if they are big ones with money.

Because people continue to hire them illegally. Not to mention the fact they have fake documents and employers don't know how to tell real from fake.

They stand out in front of Home Depot, Lowe's and on the street corners.
Come to SW Florida, I'll be more than happy to point out the local pick up points......that the police and other governmental officials just can't seem top locate.

... illegal workers don't have to pay ,Workman's comp , health insurance , social security , federal or state taxes, union dues all money is for profit for workers and company that hired them and not everyone is caught for having illegals work for them

Because there are people still willing to take the chance just to save a few bucks on wages and insurance.

they are not fined and jailed enough. if they were, we wouldn't have as many illegals cause they wouldn't be able to work and hide!!!
