King Bill Would Punish Employers For Hiring Illegal Workers

Iowa Rep. Steve King, the House Republicans’ probable point man on immigration wants to take away employers’ tax deductions for the wages of any illegal immigrants they hire, The New York Times reports. The proposal from King, the top candidate to chair a key immigration panel, would reverse the federal government’s existing policy on privacy by requiring the Internal Revenue Service to share data on taxpayers with the Department of Homeland Security.

King said his bill, if passed, “opens up lots of jobs for Americans.” He also might seek funds for more border fencing, saying, “Build it until they stop going around the end — that would be my standard.”

If the government REALLY wanted to stop, or atleast slow way down the illegal immigration, it's actually very simple.
Go after the businesses who hire them. Fine them $5.000 for EACH illegal. That's the first round. Second round, the fine needs to double to $10,000 for EACH one. Third round - you lose your business AND are hit with massive fines upwards of $50,000 for EACH.
Now, the next step is, get rid of the making a child a natural US citizen if it's born here. Make it where at least ONE of the parents MUST be a REAL LEGAL citizen. You just took away the two main reasons they all want to come here. They'll stop coming on their own!
It's easy to do these things but as we all know, the government is not interested in doing them - once again they're all talk and no show!
