Penalize job moving, hiring of illegals

What would our unemployment be in this country if people would stop hiring illegal immigrants or illegal immigrants? Or if companies quit moving jobs outside of the country to boost profits to ridiculous extremes?
I think heavy fines should be imposed on anyone hiring illegal immigrants, and that companies moving jobs outside the country should be in a higher tax bracket. If there were penalties to offset the gains, much less of this might happen.
