Employer gets cheap labor, but Illegal Alien can't keep it

[mrbowler]

This is a different twist. I feel bad for the guy, but it appears that he is a illegal alien(not a legal immigrant at the time). This is a good example of why you need to go after the employer(s)...Ok getting back to this story-What's the right thing to do in this case in regards to money earned? Donation? fines? for violation of U.S. laws etc? My initial reaction is too bad he came into the U.S. illegally so any money earned is illegal, but then I ask myself who should get this money?

Yep..That's why I was asking

My guess is that whatever Federal/State laws were broken then the appropriate fines will need to be paid, and the money taken at the airport will fall under the fines/guidelines written into the 10,000 declaration..ie you can't plead ignorance. Not sure how they handle the initial money earned while illegally working.
