Life & Work
The bill creates severe financial consequences for any employer or organization found to have hired undocumented workers in violation of federal immigration law. By making all federal funds immediately recoverable and allowing permanent bans from future funding, it dramatically raises the stakes for entities that employ undocumented workers — which could reduce job opportunities for undocumented individuals as employers become more cautious.
“If any recipient or subrecipient of Federal funds is found, by final agency determination or court judgment, to have violated section 274A of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1324a), all Federal funds provided to such recipient or subrecipient, directly or indirectly, shall be immediately recouped”
