The South Dakota Legislature will consider a bill this year that would make it unlawful for employers to hire illegal aliens.

The measure (HB1121) would be enforceable only if an employer knows that the person being hired is in the country illegally. Violators could be punished by fines of up to $5,000 for each offense. Although the offense would be a crime, the legislation does not allow violators to be imprisoned
