Undocumented work is illegal work in Mississippi
"The Mississippi bill, SB 2988, ...will make it a felony for an undocumented worker to hold a job.
Anyone caught "shall be subject to imprisonment in the custody of the Department of Corrections for not less than one (1) year nor more than five (5) years, a fine of not less than one thousand dollars ($1000) nor more than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) or both." Anyone charged with the crime of working without papers will not be eligible for bail.
The law is set to become effective for large employers on July 1." David Bacon, Apr. 20, 2008.
What does this mean for damage claims (such as injury and wrongful death) brought by undocumented workers?
