   公司在亞省法院里是出現了兩次違規法判決，聯邦可以用罪犯行為跟進，聯邦可以就亞省法院的判決，跟進聯邦的處法官。據聯邦法（Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986），刻意違法者每位非法工人罰僱主三千元，僱主或東主入獄六個月。有很多案例，初犯個案中，僱用一個非法工人罰僱主$250-$2,000，重犯時每一位非法工人罰僱主$2,000-$5,000, 後再犯時每次罰僱主$3,000-$10,000。

例：僑治亞(Georgia)州內的一個種桃商被罰一百一十萬元，橙縣屋頂蓋公司在1994年時被罰一百二十萬元。

亞里桑那工頭協會在07年7月曾入禀法庭控告州長娜波莉妲奴(Napolitano)違害Legal Arizona Workers Act。

本年八月份商業團體也向法院提出禁止州實施此項法律，至於此法是否於2008年1月1日之前被宣判無效，到時再向大家報告。
