I believe stiffer penalties for employers WAS part of the bipartisan immigration bill that Trump killed, but I don't have a source for that.

I think the reason this doesn't get addressed is because Republicans actually want to keep the status quo where they can employ illegal immigrants to depress wages. They just want to use immigrants as a scapegoat to rile people up.
