AL: Athens to Target Contractors Who Hire Illegal Aliens
Athens to Target Contractors Who Hire Illegal Aliens
March 27, 2007
From NewsChannel 19
ATHENS, Ala. (AP) - Beginning today, the Athens City Council will require contractors to sign statements saying they are not employing illegal aliens on any city-related projects.
The policy change was approved at Monday's council meeting.
City council president Harold Wales said if a contractor violates the agreement, their contract would be terminated. He said the police department and public works will help enforce the resolution.
A city attorney said its unclear if the council's action would survive a legal challenge because the federal government has sole authority over immigration matters.
