Don't you think that there should be severe fines for businesses that knowingly hire illegal aliens?

Question

First offense $2,000,000 per employee, no matter what country they are from.

Answer 1

I think so.. I like $500 for the first illegal, $1000 for the second..keep doubling the rate. and he should spend 30 days in jail for each illegal he employees.. After so many times, the govert. should take the property and do with it as they see fit.

Answer 2

The Laws Against Hiring Illegal Aliens.

A person (including a group of persons, business, organization or local government) commits a federal felony when he:

assists an alien whom he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him to obtain employment,
encourages that alien to remain in the U.S., by referring him to an employer, by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or
knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.
Penalties upon conviction include criminal fines, imprisonment, and forfeiture of vehicles and real property used to commit the crime.

I do agree it should be a higher fine and more prison time .
