NextImg:EXCLUSIVE: The Law That Would Make Companies Who Hire Illegal Aliens Feel The Pain

Rep. Brandon Gill (R-TX) introduced new legislation on Wednesday that would target companies that employ illegal aliens and enhance the government’s ability to track down illegal employees.

The Congressman’s New Illegal Deduction Elimination Act, called the “New IDEA Act,” seeks to remove the financial incentives that encourage illegal aliens to come to the United States and allow them to stay.

It would penalize companies that hire illegal aliens, require the IRS and Social Security Administration to share data with the Department of Homeland Security, and encourage the use of employment verification tools used to prevent illegal aliens from taking American jobs.

“It’s time to dismantle the jobs magnet driving illegal immigration and ensure that unscrupulous employers do not benefit from hiring illegal aliens over American citizens. We shouldn’t be doling out American jobs to illegal aliens from foreign nations,” Gill told The Daily Wire. “My legislation promotes a thriving economy and encourages E-verify use so law-abiding Americans can make an honest living, earn benefits, and run successful businesses that serve their communities.”

If passed, the legislation would prevent employers from deducting wages and benefits paid to illegal aliens, effectively penalizing those who choose to employ illegal aliens instead of American citizens.

Gill’s bill also encourages companies to use E-Verify, a free platform from the Department of Homeland Security that employers use to authenticate the legal status of potential employees. Companies that use E-Verify and receive confirmation of the legal status of employees would be able to deduct the wages and benefits paid to those employees, providing an incentive for business owners to use the DHS service.

E-Verify, The Daily Wire has reported, could be one of the single most effective ways to prompt the large-scale self-deportation of illegal aliens.

With an estimated 18.6 million illegal aliens currently present in the United States according to the Federation for American Immigration Reform, policies that address the financial incentives that encourage illegal aliens to remain in the country could prove to be a key part of the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement agenda.

Companies that employ illegal aliens have come under scrutiny since President Donald Trump took office. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has conducted workplace raids in states across the country, and DHS agents even arrested two business owners in Texas who knowingly employed illegal aliens.
