It would really be a great law for anyone who hires an illegal to be inprisoned and fined for each offence. Do you think it would slow down the illegals from coming in our country?

Millions have already been spent,still no Ben Laden.
But if America doesn't start doing something about all of the illegals,then who's to say we will not inherit a Ben Laden of our own.

Documents are forged as good as you want to see.
There are ways of checking @ call SS for that person such us dead or alive and age... next, get a police check - already some employers do this, I know we do...
Lets not kid ourselves - Period... If we a mind to, it can be done...
That fine is cheap, try $150,000.00 plus 2 yrs(federal- since it is a federal crime)

Targetting the businesses that hire illegals is an excellent idea, but the fine should be much larger (3x the normal wages for the job had it been filled by a non-illegal, for instance, or some substantial fraction of the company's gross revenues), and levelled at the business, itself, while the hiring manager should be given only modest jail time (a year is probably excessive).
What makes illegals attractive to business - and thus makes America attractive to illegals - is the low cost. Make it risky and expensive to hire illegals, and the 'job magnet' disapears, as do most of the illegals.

Just another stupid law. We have 7 MILLION LAWS on our books, and need only enforce them.
Making more laws does nothing, and sort of reminds me of how the Chinese government passed a silly law at the turn of the century, when Y2K issues were feared; they passed a law mandating there would be no computer problems related to Y2K.

I think the real law is more like 5-10 years. I like 25 years and a million dollar fine. That would help with the deportation costs.

The problem is the illegals usually have forged documentation that looks real. Figure out a way to verify they are legal and then maybe your "law" might work.

no i think myself they should pay one tenth of their annual wage if they hire someone who is not supposed to work. then pay the person a years wages up front after that and pay for the person to be sent back that would stop any of them people that use illegals as cheap labour. that is the problem to be illegal means you don't get full pay and that is wrong always and the employer should pay really big for doing so only way to stop them exploiting people

it wouldn't totally stop.those who are desperately seeking labor cheaply will still take the chance.I.E.where i live out in the woods there is this lumber yard that i think has illegals employed when i went there to get mulch i went around the building with my truck to notice a bunch of them kinda stop and look at me like oh sh@t.but then went back to work when they noticed i was not driving directly at them.where this place is hardly ever has costumers pick up mulch or lumber they almost always take orders over the phone.

Excellent idea, something needs to be done! Yes it will slow illegals from coming.

How about 25 years and their personal property to be sold?
How about impeachment from elected office if they do not enforce immigration laws?

No. It would just make them more seen b/c they'd be walking around instead of out of the way working.
But I'd bump it to a $50,000 fine.
