An employer who hires a person without identity in the US will usually be fined an amount for the illegal hire. If it is discovered during the time of investigation that there are other undocumented immigrants or paperwork violations, more fines could follow. In the event that illegal hiring becomes a pattern with a particular employer, fines and the possibility of criminal penalties could follow.
