Absolutely. It's the law. The following is an overview of federal law on hiring and harboring illegal aliens. It is not a substitute for professional legal counsel in specific situations.
A person (including a group of persons, business, organization or local government) commits a federal FELONY when he:
• assists an alien whom he should reasonably know is illegally in the U.S. or who lacks employment authorization, by transporting, sheltering, or assisting him to obtain employment,
• encourages that alien to remain in the U.S., by referring him to an employer, by acting as employer or agent for an employer in any way, or
• knowingly assists illegal aliens due to personal convictions.
Penalties upon conviction include criminal fines, imprisonment, and forfeiture of vehicles and real property used to commit the crime.
Anyone employing or contracting with an illegal alien without verifying his work authorization status is guilty of a MISDEMEANOR. Aliens and employers violating immigration laws are subject to arrest, detention, and seizure of their vehicles or property. In addition, individuals or entities who engage in racketeering enterprises that commit (or conspire to commit) immigration-related felonies are subject to private civil suits for treble damages and injunctive relief.
As in most discussions about illegal immigration -- we simply need to enforce the existing law. If you don't like the laws you're free to work to try to change them. Until them, enforce the law!

Yes
-Fine's based on the number of individual's hired, somewhere in the $10k-$25k per illegal hire. If another illegal hire is made after first conviction the fine rate should double with every conviction.
-Prison sentences should be one year per illegal employee, served consecutively, and should also double at every subsequent conviction.
