Wouldn’t it be easier and cheaper to seriously penalize employers hiring illegals? Drying up employment prospects should incentivize illegals to go back home.

That would be nice except for this fact. An employer is not allowed to ask a potential hiree if they are really legal. All the potential hiree has to show is two pieces of I.D., with one being a picture I.D. If an employer violates that rule, he/she is subject to fines and a lot of lawyer fees.

Furthermore, the fake papers are so good that even the authorities can't discern if said papers are legitimate or fake. In the State of Washington, an employer does not dare to hire under the table. If that person is injured while on the job, you can bet your bottom dollar that L&I, Labor and Industries, will be on you like smell on stink. And, it never is pretty.
