At least our state is trying to reign in these illegal immigrants, starting 1 Jan, 2008:

In addition, the GSICA forbids the state from contracting with employers who do not verify the immigration status of new employees. Section 2 of the GSICA requires an employer to verify the immigration status of new employees through a federal work authorization program that is operated by the United States Department of Homeland Security. The verification requirements will apply to contractors and subcontractors with 500 or more employees on July 1, 2007, to contractors or subcontractors with 100 or more workers on July 1, 2008; and, after July 1, 2009, all government contractors and subcontractors will be subject to the new laws. While Section 2 does not contain any provisions related to enforcement, it does require the Commissioner of Labor to promulgate the rules and regulations necessary to enforce the law and to publish them on the Georgia Department of Labor's Web site.

While the GSICA will certainly affect Georgia businesses, one must also be cognizant of existing federal laws, which also address the hiring of illegal immigrants. For example, pursuant to 8 U.S.C.A. ? 1324a, one who knowingly hires illegal immigrants may be subject to civil penalties ranging from $200 to $10,000 and criminal penalties that could include imprisonment.

Although the GSICA has been described by some as a "tough immigration law," the overall purpose behind the GSICA is to strike a balance between welcoming individuals that seek to legally live and work in Georgia, while protecting the rights of United States citizens. Either way, it is important for Georgia employers that have become increasingly dependant on immigrant or migrant labor to determine how the new laws will affect their businesses.
