What law says it's a crime to hire undocumented immigrants? In fact, it's not even a crime to be undocumented. It's a civil matter not a criminal one.
Under federal and state laws, it is illegal for employers to knowingly hire, recruit, or continue to employ unauthorized workers.Federal LawsImmigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986: Codified under 8 U.S.C. § 1324a, this primary federal law makes it unlawful to knowingly hire, recruit, or refer for a fee any unauthorized alien, or to keep an employee on the payroll after learning they lack work authorization.Form I-9 Requirement: Employers must verify the identity and work eligibility of all new hires using the Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9) process. Failing to maintain or properly complete I-9 forms results in civil paperwork violations.Federal Penalties: Violations carry civil fines per unauthorized worker and potential criminal prosecution (including imprisonment up to six months and heavy fines) for a "pattern or practice" of illegal hiring. Misusing documents for I-9 verification is a felony under 18 U.S.C. § 1546(b).
