Illegal immigrant

What law states that employing an illegal immigrant is a criminal offence

[Ethel]

Section 8 of the Asylum and Immigration Act 1996 imposes an onus on employers to ensure that all employees are not in breach of the Immigration Rules. It also imposes sanctions on employees conform to the Immigration Rules - a �5000 fine for each employee in breach.

[Ethel]

I think the fine has been substantially increased in the last 12 months.
