Here's a formula that works:

Take a reasonable estimate of the total number of illegal-hiring employers, divide that by the number who get caught

Multiply it by the difference in a company's costs between hiring an illegal and an American (i.e. half as expensive to hire the illegal, multiply by 2)

Multiply it again by a penalty factor based on the amount the government subsidizes social services for illegals and a crime importation factor

The resulting amount is the proper fine. Then on top of that put the employer in jail for a year *per* illegal employee.

Yes, or simply use the current "Walmart" model on steroids.

Tax each employer for each illegal worker. Find the amount to tax by figuring the cost of taxpayer subsidized health care, schooling, and all other related costs on average for public services used by each illegal.

We'll see how cheap it is to hire them then.

Heck if Walmart can be required to cover their employees by the same rationale so can the employers of illegals.

Certainly jail the grower ~ and quite possibly everybody else on his deed to his land, and possibly even the USDA employees who knew about this but didn't report it to ICE.

We can use Butler buildings to house all these miscreants.
