  1. Why Hiring An Illegal Immigrant May Or May Not Be A Good Idea?

  2. Perhaps you have considered hiring an illegal immigrant but not sure if this is a good or bad decision. In the 80s, hiring an illegal immigrant was not so much of an issue but we have come a long way on immigration reforms. Back in the days, if you were caught hiring an illegal immigrant, the immigrant was simply deported and you lost an employee. Now, employers are required to check the work authorization of every employee.

  3. Those employers who assist an employee whom they know is illegally in the country may face severe penalties such as criminal fines, and forfeiture of property or vehicles used in the crime. The civil penalties involving illegal immigrants can be anywhere from $375 per employee for the first offense and up to $1,600 in subsequent ones.

  4. Although employers are required to confirm the work authorization of every new person they employ, things can fall through the cracks. You should use Form I-9 and gather the information necessary otherwise you will be held liable for knowing your employee’s undocumented status.

  5. Green card holders can freely work and live in the United States. With the internet’s availability, it’s not uncommon for employers to hire people from overseas. However, the employee needs to apply for their legal residency in the United States through the USCIS.

  6. To become a Lawful Permanent Resident you first have to meet certain eligibility requirements. The law sometimes limits the number of green cards given to immigrants each year. A mistake may cause a delay, therefore, it’s important you file all documentation properly. One of the most common green card categories is individuals with immediate US relatives such as spouses or children.
