So, I am confused.  IS the company that employs Illegals gonna get in any trouble?

I would think that company should have thier ass handed to them.  But it probably won't.


Anyone else think that it should be a major Felony employing illegals?

They will get a fine and then ICE will check on them for the next 6mo.

pfff.  Figures.   The fine will be far less than the profits they made through slave wages.

Only good business to keep it up.

“It’s just horrific,” said Victoria Cintra, an organizer for the Mississippi Immigrants Rights Alliance. “We’ve got two families where the mom and the dad were released with ankle bracelets” — electronic tracking devices — “and they have children. They’ve got bills to pay and kids to feed. We’ve got a woman who is 24, 26 weeks pregnant, and she’s got a husband, brother, father and brother-in-law who were detained.”
Ah the po widdle immigrants have to wear ankle bracelets...BECAUSE THEY WERE CAUGHT BREAKING THE LAW!!!

Next, look for a story about how terrible it was for the community.

Them good ol' boys are in a heap of trouble.

what the good old boys in Mississippi don't want to hear wrote:

But in cases where illegal aliens are knowingly hired, both the worker and the employer could face felony charges that carry sentences of up to five years in jail and a fine of up to $10,000.

The bill would allow small companies with under 30 employees until 2011 to comply with the rules, while companies with more than 250 employees would have to comply this July.
Illegal immigration was one of the biggest issues Watson said he heard from voters on the campaign trail. He was elated his bill passed by such a wide margin.

And after those 6 months the very same illegals will go back to working there under different names and things will continue as if it never happened. I've got first-hand experience...


Anyway, they really need to deport the fuckers. Kicking them out of their jobs won't do anything, they'll just find new ones. Oh, and preferably be deported to another country (like Argentina or Chile, somewhere further down).

The new laws are requiring employers to check the names via   the program.

The companies like Compupay and others that prepare payroll checks are flagging bad SS numbers and the employers are supposed to get rid of them. If they don't, do you really think that nothing happens?


Meaning, this company knew it was breaking the law and just figured they wouldn't be noticed.

They likely got flagged by their payroll company or even HR department when they kept issuing checks to SS numbers they know are bogus.

What's really funny is when they start communicating finding out that the some type of law enforcement officials is gonna come by and do some type of raid usually they know they are coming well at least here in Iowa.

If it was even possible to deport them to those countries listed they're still gonna come here no matter what until a country can show off that they'll provide jobs and more benefits your gonna get illegals coming here still.

I think a nice spot in the ME would be the best place to deport them.  If they can make it back to the US alive, without the help of any consulate, then make them US citizens.

doesnt bother me.  it forces people to actually stay in school and go to college to get better jobs.  it also provides the mexican families with more money and a better life.  then it also makes our products cheaper.

win win win
