The law requires those who employ others to obtain documents to verify they are legal to be hired. Not doing so is commission of a felony by the employer

That's funny, that's the same thing Sinkspur said. Interesting.

ILLEGAL HIRING: Section 1324a states: "Any person who knowingly hires/harbors/transports any illegal alien is guilty of a felony punishable by 10 years jail + $2000 fine per illegal alien + forfeiture of the vehicle or property used to commit the crime".

Federal Law--Section 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)
