$11mil to WalMart is a pittanceA heavy fine would need to be passed by Congress first of all, and of course, the President would have to sign it. No chance of that happening with a Democrat led House. But there are laws and penalties for hiring illegals already on the books.

Wal-Mart Settles Illegal Immigrant Case for $11M
What this basically says is that Walmart didn't hire anybody illegally. They hired janitorial contractors who did. Walmart had no way of knowing who those employees from the companies were. They were not complicit or guilty of anything. The payment was just to save them from fighting this down to the highest court.
It's the same thing that happened to Donald Trump. He hired a demolition company to take down the structures where Trump Tower is today. The demolition company hired illegals from Poland to do the work, and Trump had no way of knowing.
And yet they got fined. No one does any more because politicians and business wants it that way.
They could have fought it and won like Trump did. It's just it's bad PR for a company to do that. Media picks up on those stories and we know what side they are on. Walmart has been the lefts whipping boy for several decades. Walmart had the money, so they settled out of court like so many other innocent entities do every single day in this country.
Of courses it is. That's why they settled. But they still were not guilty of anything.
