My guess is that only the first thing will happen. Because the gov. doesnt want to lose the tax revenue from the scumbag business who hired them. Just a guess.

What are the penalties?
The sanctions law effectively gives the licensing "death penalty" to businesses that are caught twice knowingly putting illegal immigrants on the payroll.
First offenses are more complicated.
Business licenses are suspended for up to 10 days or at least 10 days for a first offense, depending on the circumstances.
The difference between "knowingly" and "intentionally" hiring an illegal worker is a legal determination that an employer not only knew an employee wasn't permitted to work in this country but intended to have an illegal worker on the payroll.
Violators who "knowingly" hire can have their business licenses suspended up to 10 days for a first offense. Violators who "intentionally" hire must have their licenses suspended for at least 10 days. The law does not specify the maximum suspension for a first offense for intentional violations.
In both types of cases, Superior Court judges will determine the length of the suspension and base it on a variety of factors, including: how long the business had employed someone illegally; whether the business had any prior misconduct; and the degree of harm caused by the violation.
For both types of violations, employers must terminate all their illegal employees and file an affidavit within three business days swearing not to hire illegal workers again.
First-time offenders are placed on probation and must file quarterly reports to the county attorney on each new employee they hire at that location during their supervision.
For those with knowing violations, probation lasts three years. Intentional violators face five years of probation.
