2 Immigration Bills Sent To Pa. Senate


Job Protection Bills Say Contractors Must E-Verify

PHILADELPHIA - Illegal immigration will no doubt be a hot-button issue in the mid-term elections.

The Pennsylvania House approved Tuesday a crackdown on illegal immigrants, as two "job protection" bills introduced by Bucks County state Rep. John Galloway are now on their way to the state Senate.

House Bills 1502 and 1503 require contractors to verify citizenship by using the federal E-Verify website.

Fox 29’s Julie Kim spoke to Galloway, whose bill clearly targets contractors who hire illegal immigrant workers.

She also spoke with the ACLU and a Temple Law professor to get all facets of this story.

Check out her video report from Tuesday night's Fox 29 News at 10.
