Chapter 5, Point 4

Illegal Immigrants As Employees

We know the illegal immigrants as employees is not permitted. The reason is break the law. But in fact, many companies employ illegal immigrants as employees. Of course the goal is to get employees with the low cost. And with employ the illegal immigrants, the company is not responsible with the social guaranty, e.g. in any accident and health problem.

The example we can see at Swift and company. The federal government raided six swift And Co. meat processing plants in several in 2006 and took 1300 illegal immigrant workers away from the company plants. Swift and Co. was not cited or fined by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) because it was able to produce identification for all the workers. However, the paperwork had been falsified.

In other side, the federal government is once again serious about cracking down on employers who hire undocumented workers. For business like Kawasaki’s, one of Baltimore’s best known sushi restaurants. The increased enforcement has forced their business into bankruptcy

From that example, we can take conclusion that illegal workers are always exist although against the law. Based on investigation, it is clear that the illegal immigrant as employees are increasing. For this matter, the federal government is trying to insist them with fine, along with other criminal form like harboring, money laundering or alien smuggling. This criminal had been be small business even corporate executive accountable. Why, it is cause to get private benefit. Importantly, the government must to care more about this problem, to uphold the justice and law, also keep human right.
