Three hundred is to low, 1000 bucks a head would be more appropriate.

"Three hundred is to low, 1000 bucks a head would be more appropriate."

I know firsthand of an individual that gained illegal entry from Mexico and works in the entertainment industry. He's doing quite well making as much as $500 to $1000 a day, and has work offered him by many companies, enough to keep him working 10-20 days a month. A thousand dollar fine on these companies wouldn't change a thing. Three hundred dollars a month would go unnoticed.

How about fining the employer 2-3 times what they are profiting from cheap illegal labor?

Incidentally, the goal of this individual isn't to gain permanent legal residency in the USA, but to return to Mexico with the earnings.

So, what about the illegal that's here not working, and just getting the entitlements and free benefits that legal citizens tax dollars pay for.

How are you going to subsidize those costs or make those illegals want to leave?

The best way to solve this problem, aside from closing the border and putting up a wall, is to crack down on all employers who hire illegals. Fine them, arrest them, tax them, something, so they wont want to hire illegals. Then, take away ALL benefits and entitlements to ALL illegals.

Take away any and all reason for what illegals come here for.
