Technically, there is a federal law which prohibits anyone from aiding or abetting a known illegal alien. I believe the law dates back to the 1950s. However, there is no instance in which that law was ever enforced with respect to simply allowing a friend or family member to live with you. Consequently, it would be difficult for the federal government to begin enforcing that law, since defendants would argue selective enforcement.
However, some recent state laws (notably the Alabama law taking effect September 1, 2011) make it a misdemeanor under state law to provide shelter to anyone when you know his or her presence in the United States is illegal.

∙ 13y agoYes, illegal aliens are foreigners illegally coming into the United States. If you hire one you are breaking the law.
If you are a legal entity such as a business,corporation,institution or any other facility then you can not legally hire illegal aliens,employers must verify the identities of their employees....
However there are exceptions,such as if you are a private citizen and not doing business under your name or a company name and you hire 5 people to clean off your fence line,help you load a moving truck,rake your lawn or some other menial task and agree to pay them a specified sum then you are not required to verify their identiy,just as you are not required to pay a minimum wage,carry workers comp insurance,pay pay-roll taxes,or withhold federal/state taxes from their wages...Same applies if you hire five 11 year old boys to shovel snow,rake leaves,stack wood,mow your lawn ect...they are legally not allowed to be employed by a legal entity since they are not old enough to acquire working papers from the State,but they can be hired by private citizens....

∙ 12y agoIt depends on what country you're in. In the UK, an employer can be fined up to £25,000 for each illegal immigrant they employ. It's up to the employer to check whether a person is legally entitled to work.

∙ 13y agoNo. Current law (Federal and State) does not preclude an illegal immigrant from renting a place. Apartment managers are not required to request documentation of legal status. For example... suppose you have a person enter the US legally and decide to rent an apartment for a few months. Is he here legally? Yes, he has a visa. However, that same person over stays his visa and remains here for several years... working. Is he here illegally? YES. Is there a law that denies him a right to rent an apartment? NO. Apartment managers are not bound by any law to ask for any documentation of residency or citizenship. If there has been a recent change to this in any state then I am not aware of it.

Can you report an illegal immigrant?
Yes you can and you should report illegal Immigration for the reasons stated below. Simply call DHS (Dept. of Homeland Security). A couple of their telephone contact numbers are: Operator Number: 202-282-8000 Comment Line: 202-282-8495 Illegal immigrants are commtting a crime. In most instances, they did not apply for a visa at a U.S. Consulate, they did not pay the visa application fees, they were not interviewed for worthiness to enter the U.S., their backgrounds were not checked to see if they were dangerous criminals or narcotics traffickers and they obviously failed to respect the U.S.'s laws. Furthermore, they often times illegally work in the U.S., and they steal or illegally use somebody else's Social Security number to gain employment. Therefore, many times an illegal alien breaks three federal laws. They work for wages much less than the going-American wage, which results in lower wages for the people who compete against them and need better wages the most - working class US citizens and legal residents. This results in many Americans earning less money and paying less taxes than they should, and further grows the ever-increasing wealth gap between the rich and the poor and negatively impacts the federal budget deficit. A great number of illegal aliens also traffick dangerous drugs, such as cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine. Illegal alien, Mexican national narcotics traffickers, for example, dominate the distribution of those drugs through-out most regions of the U.S., except for South Florida and New England. 33% of all prisoners in federal penitentiaries are foreign nationals, and most of them are incarcerated for drug trafficking. Check with your local DEA office, and they will cofirm this information. So, the next time you hire a company that uses illegal labor or if you contract an illegal alien for a job around the house, you are contributing to our nation's economic woes, and you are encouraging our nation to further break from the Rule of Law.
