BRUSSELS, May 17 (UPI) -- EU employers that hire illegal immigrants would face tough sanctions, including fines or criminal charges under a proposal approved by the European Commission.

"Illegal migrants will continue coming to the EU countries while it is easy to find an illegal job," EU Home Affairs Commissioner Franco Frattini said after the draft legislation was unanimously approved by the European Commission, the EU Observer reported.

Those employing illegal immigrants would face fines and the loss of public contracts and would have to pay the cost of the illegal immigrant's return, taxes and social contribution, the Observer reported.

Employers would face criminal charges for repeated violations or exploitative working conditions or if they hire a victim of human trafficking.

The law would punish individuals who hire undocumented immigrants as nannies or other workers, as well as companies, the EU Observer reported.

Government here should do the same thing instead of selling out to big business.

Sorry, had,

I hate to tell you, but big business IS our current gov't, IMHO!

Our enemies throughout the world must be laughing at us. We have made it oh so easy for them to enter our country through our wide-open borders. We must be the laughing stock of the world!

When the terrorists attack us again, the blood of every dead American will be on the greedy traitor hands of Bush, Kennedy and all of the others who are trying to sell out our country.

Don't you mean the Chamber of Commerce?

The Chamber of Commerce is just the mouthpiece for the NWO elite, IMO.
