Re: Illegal aliens 8 USC Section 1324a(a)(1) is violated when you offer employment to someone who is not authorized to work under the immigration laws. If there is a pattern or practice of violating this law you can be fined and/or imprisoned for up to 3 years.
8 USC Section 1324 establishes that a person that harbors an illegal alien can be fined and/or imprisoned for up to 5 years, 10 years if there is a financial gain, or longer terms if there is bodily injury or death to anyone.
8 USC 1325 establishes that an alien who entered without inspection at a place other than a port of entry (i.e. illegally) can be fined and/or imprisoned for up to 6 months and up to 2 years if it has been done more than once. If the alien was deported before entering illegally then the terms for imprisonment are longer depending on fact specific circumstances.
