Abstract
⺠We study the impact of the imposition of sanctions for employing illegal migrants. ⺠In response, managers in a firm may be reassigned from production to verification. ⺠With full employment and steep sanctions, the firm will assign managers to verification. ⺠This reassignment impedes efficiency and reduces the wages of native workers. ⺠The welfare of the native workers (the sanctions' intended beneficiaries) is reduced.
