U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials have fined 13 employers in New Jersey nearly $640,000 because of undocumented workers. That’s about 15 times more than the fines levied in all of fiscal year 2009, when four employers in the state were fined $44,728. ICE spokesman Harold Ort in Newark says the agency is focused on building cases against “egregious employers” who fail to ensure their employees are eligible to work in the U.S.
Ort says the agency conducts “silent raids” by checking forms which document a person’s eligibility to work in the United States.

The business owners are fined and what happens to the illegals?
Just another revenue generator. Not impressed.
its coming! the govt needs cash Big time, they will fine u if u discrimintae against illegals and fine u if u hire them be careful people 1939 is coming and evryone is sleepung, Don’t believe me look at Rubashkin and with all of our connections it still didn’t help. help should give him a yeshua
this is going to be a double whammy for employers, because they will stop hiring illegals and the illegals will file a law suit for discrimination, the worst part is there is probably a judge that will side with the illegals and award millions to them.
#3(sleepung) Is that even a word?
