OR-Oregon Senate puts illegal workers, bosses on notice
Oregon Senate puts illegal workers, bosses on notice

SALEM -- Lawmakers are set to crack down on businesses that hire illegal workers, don't pay taxes, or otherwise make it harder for law-abiding employers to compete.
The Senate, in a marathon afternoon session on Monday, approved House Bill 2815, which requires the departments of justice, revenue, employment, and other agencies to work together to track businesses that pay employees in cash.
The bill when it was introduced would fund the operation by increasing licensing fees paid by businesses. The proposal, as voted on Monday, pays for the program by appropriating $750,000 from the general fund.
Sen. Floyd Prozanski, D-Eugene, said that investment should bring in an estimated $7 million this biennium in increased income, unemployment, and workers' compensation taxes.
The vote was 22 to 7. Sen. Larry George, R-Sherwood, voted against the bill, citing privacy concerns.
"This is a massive database bill and it makes me very nervous that we're giving the state ability to do that."
The bill heads to Gov. Ted Kulongoski for his signature.

Illegals with the help of Gov't destroyed California.
If Oregon has any doubts about the need for them to put into effect this bill, just visit California.

They should have passed e-verify instead.Join our efforts to Secure America's Borders and End Illegal Immigration by Joining ALIPAC's E-Mail Alerts network (CLICK HERE)
