Rather than make it a fixed fine, make it proportional to that company's annual income. Like, for instance, for every undocumented worker they hire, garnishee 10% of their income for that year. Then, for every ten undocumented workers they have, they lose all their income and go bankrupt. I bet if that got passed, they'd fire all their illegal workers pretty damned fast.

Of course, as long as there's Republican influence in the government, that won't get passed, because that would stop the steady flow of dough into their pockets from generous gifts by certain corporations.
