Comments were that the employer needs to be arrested and I totally agree. This is not one or two got through, it was 22% of the employees working that day.
Speaking as a former employer, if hiring laws are followed, there is no legal way to hire or pay, an illegal in my state. So yes, the employer has now broken state & federal laws & should also be arrested, detained, given a quick and speedy trial before being locked up.
Another way to reduce costs, trial and jail for the business owner. He would then most likely have to fire sale his business, allowing someone to get a viable business cheap. Just my thoughts.
that's true, so the employer may not be as guilty as it seems. Good thing I gave them a speedy trial. if the illegals had ssn's, someone at the ss office needs to be arrested, given...
The fines may need to be steeper to discourage hiring illegals. Here’s the current law. Employers who hire undocumented immigrants in the United States face significant legal ramifications under federal law, primarily governed by 8 U.S.C. § 1324a, which prohibits the unlawful employment of aliens. It is unlawful to hire, recruit, or refer for a fee any individual knowing they are unauthorized to work in the U.S., or to continue employing someone after learning they are unauthorized. Employers must verify work authorization at the time of hiring by completing Form I-9 and examining acceptable documents that establish both identity and employment eligibility.
Civil penalties for hiring unauthorized workers can range from $375 per unauthorized worker for a first offense to up to $1,600 per worker for a third or subsequent offense. If an employer is found to have engaged in a "pattern and practice" of hiring undocumented workers, fines can reach up to $3,000 per employee. In addition, employers may face the loss or suspension of their business license, particularly if the violation is repeated or severe.
Criminal penalties are also possible. A conviction under 8 U.S.C. § 1324a(a)(1)(A) requires proof of actual knowledge that the individual is unauthorized to work. For a "pattern or practice" of hiring unauthorized workers, penalties include fines of up to $3,000 per employee and imprisonment for up to six months. If an employer knowingly hires at least 10 unauthorized workers within a 12-month period, they may face fines under Title 18 or imprisonment for up to five years, or both. In some cases, employers may be prosecuted under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act if they engage in a pattern of racketeering activity related to immigration violations.
Employers may also face reputational damage, loss of community trust, and the need to replace management personnel to restore credibility and compliance. Even if an employer makes a good faith effort to verify documents and does not have actual or constructive knowledge of an employee’s unauthorized status, they may have a defense against criminal liability. However, failure to conduct proper verification, such as not completing or retaining I-9 forms, can result in additional fines ranging from $110 to $1,100 per violation. Employers are encouraged to use systems like E-Verify to help ensure compliance.
Arrest the warehouse OWNERS! Fine them, jail them, strip all of their business licenses, and seize their assets! That's how we make 30 million illegal aliens self-deport- Along with ending free gibs for illegals too, of course.
New Jersey is filled with illegals. Rents are high and the roads are crowded.

Ah, but there is. Subcontractors.
I'll sub out my drywall job to Pedro, he has all legal paperwork. The guys working for him? Not a chance.
Construction bossman in the clear.
Rinse and repeat.
That is believable, but unbelievable-if you understand. It sounds like the "illegals" found a loophole, or someone working for the company, found one.
Yeah, the all American boss.
Pedro goes to jail.

The companies that hire them should be fined. It’s all about cheaper wages.
