THE SPOKESMAN WARNED EMPLOYERS FOUND ENGAGING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS THAT THEY COULD BE FINED UP TO $50 000 AND FACE IMPRISONMENT FOR ONE YEAR. THOSE FAILING TO KEEP UP-TO-DATE RECORDS OF EACH OF THEIR EMPLOYEES SHOWING THE EMPLOYEE'S NAME, TYPE OF IDENTITY DOCUMENT AND THE NUMBER OF THE DOCUMENT, RISKED A $10 000 FINE.
THE SPOKESMAN REMINDED MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC OF THEIR LEGAL OBLIGATION TO CARRY PROOF OF IDENTITY SUCH AS ID CARD, CURRENT DRIVING LICENCE OR A VALID TRAVEL DOCUMENT.
+APART FROM AVOIDING THE RISK OF BEING FINED $1 000 FOR NOT CARRYING ACCEPTABLE PROOF OF IDENTITY, THEY WOULD BE GREATLY ASSISTING THE POLICE, IMMIGRATION OFFICERS AND LABOUR INSPECTORS IN DETECTING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, HE SAID.
+AT THE SAME TIME, THEY WOULD AVOID INCONVENIENCE TO THEMSELVES SHOULD THEY BE STOPPED AND ASKED FOR IDENTIFICATION.+
