  1. Sometimes wonder why not enforce existing laws rather than passing more and more laws:

    Google search: federal law regulating employers hiring illegal immigrants

    Result from US Dept of Justice:
    Title 8 U.S.C. § 1324a(a)(1)(A) makes it unlawful for any person or other entity to hire, recruit, or refer for a fee, for employment in the United States an alien knowing the alien is an unauthorized alien, as defined in subsection 1324a(h)(3).
    1908. Unlawful Employment Of Aliens — Criminal Penalties
    Is it illegal to hire a non-U.S. citizen?
    Yes, it’s illegal to hire a non-citizen without authorization. This includes knowingly hiring undocumented workers.
    Why it’s illegal
    The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 (IRCA) prohibits employers from discriminating based on citizenship or immigration status.
    It’s illegal to hire or continue to employ unauthorized aliens.
    Penalties
    The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) or an administrative law judge can order employers to stop hiring unauthorized aliens.
    Employers may be ordered to pay a civil money penalty for each offense.
    How to verify employment eligibility
    Employers must verify the employment eligibility of all people hired on or after November 7, 1986.
    Employers must complete a Form I-9.
    Employees can present documents like a U.S. Passport, Form I-551 (Green Card), driver’s license, school ID with a photo, Social Security card, or birth certificate.
    Other considerations
    Employers cannot refuse to accept lawful documentation that establishes employment eligibility.
    Employers cannot retaliate against individuals for asserting their rights under IRCA.

    Is a law still a good idea as a legislative statement even if there is no intent to enforce it?

    1. Thanks, Fred, I was thinking the same thing. If we already have laws on the books, it seems like we (and by “we”, I mean our lawmakers) could be spending our time and the taxpayers’ money more effectively than by making redundant laws
