Now. there has been a lot of talk about the law. and I have been called anal and everything else around this House floor. even by people in my party. for actually reading bills and reading laws. but 8 United States Code section 1324a(a)(1) says: It is unlawful for a person or other entity (A) to hire. or to recruit or refer for a fee. for employment in the United States an alien knowing the alien is an unauthorized alien. as defined in subsection (h)(3) of this section. with respect to such employment. or (B) (i) to hire for employment in the United States an individual without complying with the requirements of subsection (b) of this section. or (ii) if the person or entity is an agricultural association. agricultural employer. or farm labor contractor. to hire. or to recruit or refer for a fee. for employment in the United States an individual without complying with the requirements of subsection (b) of this section. Basically. it makes clear. and it is easier for me to see it in print. but when I see it in print. it is very clear. it is illegal for someone to get a job in America who is not an authorized alien. If you are an illegal alien or an unauthorized alien. as the language is here. then you are not entitled. it is illegal for you to get a job in the United States. and it is illegal for someone to hire you. It really raises an interesting question. and I havent seen this in the Presidents fiat. the royal decree that he made. I havent seen if he is providing amnesty for every employer that hires someone who is here illegally because the President is saying. basically. "Im giving you amnesty. so you can go work wherever you want to." but as the law makes clear in section 1324 of volume 8 of the United States Code. it is illegal to hire someone that is illegally in the country.
