This is a major problem and always has been. The border comes first, and needs further advancement in various ways. But if/when they do sneak in as they have been doing, they come here for jobs. Employers take advantage of this via low wages and not having to pay all kinds of benefits. And when caught, many get tiny penalties. This needs fixing. I said for a long time that they need to hand out huge fines and jail for repeat offenders, and watch how fast this changes.

And save it if you're going to say that this is why they come and the border or a wall is not a problem or necessary. And that's BS.

Not many companies actually get busted for hiring illegal immigrants, study finds

---A study by Syracuse University finds few people have been prosecuted for hiring illegal aliens in the past 12 months.

---Only 11 individuals have been prosecuted for knowingly hiring illegal aliens in the past year, despite nearly 86,000 people getting prosecuted for illegal entry into the country during the same time period.

---Immigration hawks argue that nationwide implementation of E-Verify, a program that checks a worker’s immigration status, would alleviate the problem.

A new study finds that, despite a record-setting number of immigrants illegally entering the country, relatively few employers are prosecuted for hiring undocumented aliens.

From April 2018 to March 2019, only 11 individuals were prosecuted for knowingly employing migrants without proper documentation, according to information compiled by the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse at Syracuse University. No individuals have been prosecuted in the past two months, and no companies were prosecuted in the last year.

Preaching to the choir. Don't think the institutional bureaucracy doesn't reach at all levels. Being connected keeps the right people looking the wrong way, and ensures the penalty for getting caught is a slap on the wrist.

I think the business owner's and the peddlers of human traffic are the worst sort of people. They should be facing penalties that can and/or do break them. When you make it not worth getting caught it would have an immediate affect on a lot of employment around here, that's for sure.
