News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

Employers targeted on immigration

Stiff sanctions for knowingly hiring entrants are OK'd

PHOENIX — Companies that knowingly hire undocumented workers would face felony charges, stiff fines and possibly be put out of business under legislation approved Thursday by the House of Representatives.

The proposed law would require employers to file an affidavit with the state swearing they do not knowingly employ people not in this country legally. It also provides money to state and local prosecutors to investigate complaints against companies and determine if they have, in fact, hired undocumented workers.

The crime companies would be charged with is filing a false affidavit. That gets around the fact federal law prohibits bars states from punishing employers for hiring undocumented workers.
