A study by Syracuse University finds few people have been prosecuted for hiring illegal aliens in the past 12 months.
Only 11 individuals have been prosecuted for knowingly hiring illegal aliens in the past year, despite nearly 86,000 people getting prosecuted for illegal entry into the country during the same time period.
A new study finds that, despite a record-setting number of immigrants illegally entering the country, relatively few employers are prosecuted for hiring undocumented aliens.
Nearly 86,000 individuals were prosecuted in the past year - April 2018 to March of this year - for illegally entering the U.S. During that same time period, 34,617 were prosecuted for illegal re-entry, and 4,733 were prosecuted for either bringing in or harboring illegal migrants.
"U.S. employers are expected to comply with the federal ban on employing illegal aliens. It has been well established that a primary factor motivating illegal immigration is the possibility of landing a job in the U.S.," Matthew Tragesser, spokesperson for the Federation for American Immigration Reform, stated to The Daily Caller News Foundation on Friday.
"Mandating E-Verify, a free, online program that verifies the work authorization of employees, would certainly help employers from hiring illegal aliens."
"ICE's worksite enforcement strategy aims to curb employers from hiring illegal aliens, but the reality is the agency is stretched to capacity and requires more individuals and funding to fully carry out its mission. Despite having national oversight, ICE is smaller than the NYPD, revealing the challenge of prosecuting employers across the nation," Tragesser continued.
