I am an attorney in San Diego, California, looking for plaintiffs. So far I have four and will be filing in Federal Court in a week or so.

There is a federal immigration law that states it is discrimination for an employer to favor the hiring of undocumented workers over documented workers.

There is also recent case law in the 9th Circuit and others- that gives private individuals (legal documented workers) a cause of action against the employer under the RICO statutes.

There have been successful class action suits against big companies for RICO violations for hiring undocumented workers rather than legal residents or citizens.

Companies have appealed, and the 9th Circuit (and others) have upheld the RICO cause of action, and the U.S. Supreme Court denied certiorari, so the case law stands.

Bringing a civil suit under RICO and enforcing the immigration laws against employers privately $$$ may be what finally hits the employers where it counts- their bottom line.
