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.
