Can businesses be fined or otherwise punished for employing illegal immigrates?



Answer:
Yes they can.It's the law an city's an states are starting to enforce there laws. It's a great day That 200 million USA citizens made the voices heard an the Shamnesty bill failed.It's just the beginning.Keep up the pressure call & e/mail your Gov close the borders, build the fence. an we will have our jobs an social services back.
Yes. But it doesn't happen nearly often enough.
Yes, the answer is in your question.illegal.
As the law is written, it is a felony to aid and abet the breaking of immigration laws.
Though, like the first answerer stated, the laws are not enforced.
only the small business.....really big business like meat packers and carpet mills, etc will get away with it as long as they contribute to the campaigns
yes and they should. there r plenty of bums on welfare to do unskilled menial labor, but libs in this country want to take care of the slackers on our dime.
Yes, but since it doesn't benefit the govt. or business to fine these businesses, they don't enforce the laws.Govt and business are in bed together.
Can and are...its in the news daily
yes they can. they pay no taxes( worker or employer), and it is just not good practices to hire illegals, it takes jobs away from citizens who need the job.
Yes, but such enforcement is lax.
The answer is YES.
they should be. heavy fines. enough to put them out of business.
It is a law on the books, but rarely enforced.

But my home state of Arizona just passed a law to go after employers that do so on a State level. We will see if it is enforced.
