That's the issue, though. It would really have to be a sliding scale, because what's a prohibitive fine for a mom and pop place hiring one or two illegals a year is absolutely nothing to a billionaire hiring thousands of illegals a year.
And the billionaires have a lot of sway with the laws getting passed. Because, money.
So....🤷♀️.
And we could try pivoting from monetary fines to mandatory time served in jail. But then again the fat cats would still get off, because they would just throw their managers under the bus, saying it was them that hired illegals (while ignoring the fact that the company owners threaten their managers with getting fired if they don't keep payroll numbers down.)
Of course, an EO could solve that issue. Until the next President comes along and revokes it. 🤷♀️
Hello, just fine the H-E double L out of any business that hires ILLEGAL ALIENS! It's NOT that hard!
The money the companies save with hiring illegals is more than what the fines are.
They MAKE the laws, make the fines so much they wouldn't do it!

How about adding a year in jail?
