EXAMPLE:
Jose illegally crosses the boarder and secures a job from farmer Gray. when he gets out into the field, he meets another who has entered the country like himself. He also meets an illegal Canadian who has overstayed his visa and an American. Jose decides instead of working all summer for less than minimum wage he will call the authorities and turn in farmer gray.
Immigration sends all three illegal workers back to their respective countries.
Once the case is adjudicated Jose receives a check for $40,000.
You might question why $40,000 since there were only three illegal workers. Farmer Gray was fined for not scanning the employee’s cards, not because he hired undocumented workers. the American was working off the books. Billions in tax dollars are lost every year due to unreported employment. Eventually it will become cost prohibitive for restaurants, farmers, hotels, landscapers and golf courses to hire undocumented worker and people off the books.
Many will see it as putting the onus on an employer. The fact is these people should not be considered employers, but people who are aiding and abetting a criminal act.

Many will see this as anti-immigrant. The fact is this is pro-immigration. Once this pool of illegal undocumented workers dries up, it will be employers that will be demanding the country expedites legal immigrations. Legal immigrations will be a benefit for everyone.
