The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement have increased their efforts in auditing companies who have illegal immigrants on their payrolls. Those companies who have been caught have been issued severe fines. From 2009 to 2012, the total amount of fines have already increased by almost $13 million; which is a far-cry from the $1 million average prior to 2009.
As much as the U.S. government would want to improve the country’s immigration system, advocates are not as happy about this trend. One of the impacts of these audits is the unavailability of workers for certain jobs. Mass layoffs have already happened for several companies and outsourcing has been a priority for some, leaving many US workers unemployed anyway.
