And using that to round up and deport the illegals?

I support extremely harsh penalties for a first offense. I support increasingly harsher repercussions for repeat violations.
Keep in mind that FALSIFIED documents and identities can create an unknown violation. Which means the employer would need to strengthen their verification process. But criminals do criminal things, and they think it ways to deceive non-criminal minds.......
I am NOT making excuses at ALL for the purposefully non compliant employers or the willfully negligent ones. I am just saying that we need to keep certain aspects in mind....

Starting with the federal government, Hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They let them in an refuse to build a fence and guard our boarders.
We should rush the White House and Congress and seize the assets until they build a dam fence and deport the Illegals

No, because it would be excessive punishment and thus unconstitutional (8th Amendment):
"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
I would support a stiff fine for such corporations.
If the corporation was paying below minimum wage, I would support a fine of X (the number of illegals hired) times the amount saved (the difference between min. wage and what the immigrants were paid).
If the corporation was paying below MARKET (under the "illegals won't complain" theory), I'd support a similar fine.

Absolutely. Seizure of assets should be a big part of any illegal alien employer arrest. The employer has a responsibility to ascetain if the employee is eligible to work in the USA.

No. I believe in enforcing the law, but the punishment has to fit the crime.
A huge juicy fine for each occurrence (or individual illegal alien) would be a nice deterrence. Good luck enforcing it.
It's going to be up to concerned voters to call the losers they voted into office and put them on notice. The Election is looming...
Warm regards,

Excellent idea. That money could be used for deportation and for paying the American taxpayers back for all the money they have had to pay out towards the support of the illegal criminal aliens.
Yes, I would be for that. Definitely.

If they did that to all those businesses at once then it would screw up the economy too much. I think whenever they decide what to do it will have to be a gradual solution to avoid risking too drastic an effect on the economy.

YES! i mean what people don't understand is what these illegals are doing is flat out breaking the law and are government is not in forcing the laws??? So see why don't we just let our prisoners out of jail then screw it. It is not right just look at New York they are giving illegals licensees? What is going on. BOYCOTT MEXICO BUY AMERICAN.

If there was a well defined law and the hiring was intentional and blatant then absolutely yes.
