I’ve always stated that denying illegal immigrants jobs is the best way to reduce illegal immigration, but I don’t get why companies that hire these illegal immigrants always get away scot-free without any penalties whatsoever. This just encourages these employers to keep hiring illegal immigrants over and over again…they need to be held accountable.
No criminal charges have been filed against Corso’s, but the employer is under investigation, authorities said. Two locations were searched, and Khaalid Walls, an agency spokesman, said “a large volume of business documents” were seized.
In April, agents made about 100 worker arrests at a meatpacking plant in rural Tennessee, another high-profile show of force reminiscent of President George W. Bush’s administration. No criminal charges have been filed against the employer.
I’ve always said that if you take away the incentive, a lot of the illegals won’t come, or will self deport.
Now if the IRS were to turn over to some investigative agency anyone who has been reported as dead that is showing they are making money, or if you have a person who is making full time money from two jobs in different states . .
Credit and background checks won’t tell you anything about their legal immigration status. Employers can also be held liable for discrimination by going beyond the federal documentation requirements.
It isn’t nearly as simple as most people want to make it.
I agree 100%, dry up the jobs, access to social programs, and access to services meant for legal residents and citizens and the illgeal alien problem would be self correcting.
With that said though, before you can hold employers accountable there needs to be fundamental changes in the I-9/E-verify system so that employers have the tools necessary to check on the legal status for seeking to be hired.
It’s pretty hard to hold employers responsible when you tie their hands. Give them the tools and then hold them responsible for using them.
Until you cut off the flow to at least a trickle nothing is going to work. It isn’t big companies hiring most of them and much of the labor is brokered by other illegals.
Again though, if illegal labor was the only thing crossing the border you might have an argument for reversing the priorities.
More importantly there is absolutely no reason not to address both at the same time and we still have the same ability to put a tax on all cash transfers being sent to Mexico to fund it.
