From the Havre Daily News: The state Senate has endorsed a bill that would criminalize the employment of illegal immigrants.
House Bill 297 would suspend the license of a business that employs illegal immigrants and would allow the prosecution of whistleblowers who provide false reports of illegal labor.
The bill passed an initial Senate vote Wednesday along party lines. It has already passed the House
Republican Sen. Verdell Jackson of Kalispell says the measure would discourage illegal immigrants from taking Montanans' jobs, while providing ways for employers to verify their employees are eligible to work.
Opponents call the bill heartless, unwelcoming and anti-business.
The bill must pass a final vote before facing Gov. Steve Bullock's office. http://www.havredailynews.com/cms/news/senateendorsesbilltocurbillegalworkers.html
Why, of course the Democrats don't support this bill because they don't want o tick off their voting base.
As far as being heartless, how about the people who are harmed by illegals taking their jobs and undercutting wages?
Unwelcoming? Umm, yeah, that goes without saying. Illegals should be unwelcomed because they are law breakers.
Anti-business? How about the business who employ illegals- they are hurting other companies that play by the rules.
So, hopefully, this will become law in Montana and then hopefully, in Nevada.
