Jail for hiring illegal immigrants
Employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants can now be jailed for two years under new measures.
Unscrupulous bosses could also be hit with an unlimited fine, as part of changes which the Home Office claim amount to the biggest immigration shake-up in a generation.
Firms which are negligent about checking whether their employees have the right to work in Britain could also be hit with a £10,000 on-the-spot fine for every illegal they hire.
The first stage of the Government’s much-trumpeted points-based system has also come into force.
The initial tier will apply only to highly-skilled workers who want to take jobs in the UK, and other elite workers already in the country who want to extend their visas.
Good Job England….maybe the US will wake up and I can be proud of my country for the first time in my adult life
