This is how you stop illegal aliens from holding jobs—fine the hell out of firms that hire illegal aliens. Then use the money to investigate and find more firms to fine. A second time? Close the business. A few closed businesses and the illegals will be forced to deport (when government stops subsidizing them). Hire an illegal nanny or landscaper? Fine the homeowner a large sum of money. Second time? Take their home.
“Nearly 150 unauthorized workers have been accounted for among three businesses in Colorado following workplace audits, resulting in more than $8 million in fines.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said its Denver office issued a notice of intent to fine CCS Denver, Inc.; PBC Commercial Cleaning Systems, Inc.; and Green Management Denver.
The fines are a result of “widespread employment eligibility violations,” ICE said.
The largest fine — $6,186,171 — went to CCS Denver after ICE discovered a 100% substantive violation rate and evidence of knowingly hiring and employing at least 87 unauthorized workers.”

Nearly 150 unauthorized workers have been accounted for among three businesses in Colorado following workplace audits, resulting in more than $8 million in fines.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement said its Denver office issued a notice of intent to fine CCS Denver, Inc.; PBC Commercial Cleaning Systems, Inc.; and Green Management Denver.
The fines are a result of “widespread employment eligibility violations,” ICE said.
The largest fine — $6,186,171 — went to CCS Denver after ICE discovered a 100% substantive violation rate and evidence of knowingly hiring and employing at least 87 unauthorized workers.
PBC Commercial Cleaning Systems had a 74% violation rate and at least 12 workers were hired and put to work without proper credentials, resulting in a fine of $1,599,510.
Green Management Denver was fined $270,195 after 44 authorized employees were identified, along with a 100% violation rate.
“The employment of unauthorized workers undermines the integrity of our immigration system and puts law-abiding employers at a disadvantage,” said Special Agent in Charge Steve Cagen. “These penalties reinforce our commitment to uphold the law and promote a culture of compliance.”
Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) said its worksite enforcement efforts focus on making sure businesses are following federal employment laws, especially with I-9 audits, civil penalties and criminal prosecution.
HSI said a three-prong approach of Compliance, Enforcement and Outreach is the most efficient way to handle worksite enforcement.
