Hi espressoducati,

Reporting illegal aliens falls under the authority of ICE (Immigration
and Customs Enforcement) and reporting employers of illegal aliens
falls under the authority of the IRS.

Department of Homeland Security:
"Investigative and enforcement responsibilities for enforcement of
federal immigration laws, customs laws, and air security laws was
transferred to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)."
http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/theme_home4.jsp

INS and the IRS: 
"We are now also clueing in the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to all
suspected illegals that work, plus their employers if we know of them.
The IRS takes very unkindly to the employers especially that seek to
evade taxes by paying cash for daywork type labor, which is common at
construction sites, lawn services and some factories. Their
fraud/criminal investigations number is 1-800-829-0433 nationwide. USE
IT. They can be more effective than the INS in many cases and will do
the investigative work, then if they uncover illegals will contact the
INS who will come in at the end, make the arrests and take the credit.
The employers however usually can't run and they take the big hit."

Immigration and Naturalization Service Investigative Office telephone listings:
"These are the numbers to call to report employers you suspect are
employing illegal immigrants.
You may also report immigrants themselves if you believe they are in
the country illegally, whether they are working or not. You should
have the address of each suspected violator at a minimum, and as much
additional information as you can obtain.
The more information you provide the INS the more likely it is they
will take action and the faster it will be taken."
