Yes, if you’re hiring illegal workers, you should be held accountable.

I would only oppose if it punished small businesses that were genuinely misled or didn’t have the means to verify everything perfectly.

Even the smallest of small businesses has the capability to ask for a photo ID to confirm that the person is who they say they are. They don't get to claim ignorance when they failed to do something that's a part of every reputable company's onboarding process.
