Do you want to know what will clear up this problem in short order?
Allowing private competing businesses and American legal residents seeking work in a particular industry to sue for damages those businesses who compete unfairly by hiring illegal workers.
Damages will be presumed by the mere fact that a business is operating using illegals. In other words, a business or individual would not, under my proposal, need to actually prove exactly how much they or their business were harmed by the illegals-using business. The amount of damages needs to be enough to incentivize other businesses and workers to collect evidence and go to the trouble of proving their case, and enough to punish illegals-using businesses so that managers will want to avoid that expense.
Businesses today are exposed to lawsuits if they don't hire someone because that person is a racial minority or has a disability. We need to expose businesses to similar lawsuits for hiring illegal workers.
Great point! But the evidence is sometimes hidden. There’s always the excuse “we can’t help it if forged doccuments are used by prospective employees.” It’s the insiders that will have the goods on companies that fall back on this.
