  7. Financial - TEXT BELOW IS FOR REFERENCE, I SUGGEST SUMMARIZING IT. • Under the employer sanctions of IRCA, employers who knowingly hire aliens not authorized to work in the United States are subject to fines ranging from 250 to $10,000 for each unauthorized alien. Any employer who shows a persistent pattern of hiring unauthorized aliens risks a maximum 6-month prison sentence. Every employer, therefore, is required to verify that all employees hired after December 1,1988, are eligible to work in the United States • An employer found guilty of discriminating against any individual authorized to work in the United States may be required to pay a civil penalty of not less than $250 and not more than $2,000 for each individual discriminated against. In the case of repeat offenders, these penalties may go as high as $10,000 for each individual discriminated against.
