Thread: IN House OKs illegal immigration bill aimed at employers

Great news. You see the front needs to be on is where the damage is done. We fight where the battle is actually waged. It's the states that have to foot this bill and the taxpayers of those states. They are the ones who deal with the crime, the hospitals closing, the victims in their areas who have been hurt and killed by illegals. It will be the states and local communities hounding the feds to get the borders fixed and if the don't they will no longer foot the bills. PERIOD.

Hispanic leaders have been joined by the Indiana Chamber of Commerce and other business lobbyists in predicting dire economic consequences if the bill causes thousands of illegal immigrants to leave the state.

Ha! How predictable! What a bunch of horsecrap! But hey, tell you what, if it does cause 'dire economic consequences', then all the better! It will prove that these businesses that would fold shouldn't have been in business anyway--especially if the only way they could suvive is to employ CHEAP LABOR! I hope these so called companies fold one after the other! To hell with the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, included the one at the federal level. Ha, more like the Chamber of Treason. These 'chambers' are the children of the CFR.

On a second offense within five years, the business could have its license to operate in Indiana suspended for 10 days. A third offense within five years could mean permanent revocation.

It also allows local and state police to enforce federal immigration laws.

Supporters of the bill have argued that the federal government isn’t doing its job enforcing illegal immigration statutes, and that it’s time for the rule of law to prevail. And opponents of the measure have been upset for a number of reasons - some thinking the new rules go too far and others saying the problem is too complex.

Rep. Michael Murphy, R-Indianapolis, drew applause after his speech. Distorted interpretations of the “rule of lawâ€

Of course it will actually be the opposite, highly productive Americans who are escaping California will come to Indiana and other non-illegal states, boosting their economy.
