You know, I've seen a number of quotes about just how expensive rounding up and sending home illegal aliens would be... Well, I thought of a way to offset the cost:
When someone's caught employing an illegal alien, that person would be fined $1,000 per illegal worker for the first offense, and those funds could be used to help offset the cost. If that same employer is caught again, for each subsequent offense, the fine would double... $2,000 per illegal for a second offense, $4,000 per for a third, $8,000 per for the fourth offense, etc...
Eventually, the employers will learn that illegal, cheap labor isn't really all that cheap after all.
And if the jobs for illegal aliens dry up, as well as public services, then maybe they'll stop coming.

It's so simple. So credible. It has to make every clear thinking American ask themselves, "why have they not done this"?
>>>"If that same employer is caught again, for each subsequent offense, the fine would double... $2,000 per illegal for a second offense, $4,000 per for a third, $8,000 per for the fourth offense, etc..."
Another idea would be to enter the offending employers in a pool that shared the costs of supporting illegals (hospitals, schools, crime, lost taxes, etc.). This pool would have to pay for that year's cost burden (I've seen estimates of $3,500 per illegal per year).
In this manner, the early birds would be under great pressure to rat out their friends, increasing the number of offenders in the pool -- thus reducing the burden they would have to pay themselves.
Over time this burden would drop as population estimates of illegals dropped and the pool enlarged.
