Prairie Fire Approaches Kansas: State Senator Peggy Palmer,R-Augusta, Introduces Kansas Illegal Immigration Relief Act
State Senator Peggy Palmer has introduced for consideration in the current Session the Kansas Illegal Immigration Relief Act. Per "The Augusta Daily Gazette" the proposed legislation has "five focal points...:
• A prohibition against public and private employment of illegal aliens.
• Employers will be mandated to use the E-Verify System for new employees.
• Employment identity fraud will be a crime.
• Termination of public assistance benefits to aliens not lawfully present present in the United States.
• Facilitate local and state police assisting the federal government in the enforcement of federal immigration laws through verification of the immigration status of individuals."
As in Arizona 2007, Mr. Mandatory E-Verify has made an appearance, for all hires within the state, both public and private, and this provision will have employers scrambling for fire-breaks.For another publication of this article, but this time editorialized with smilies, check this.
