Thread: The Indiana Senate - Illegal immigration

Illegal immigration

The Indiana Senate has approved bill that would revoke the business licenses of companies that repeatedly hire illegal immigrants.

The "three-strikes" proposal would revoke business license from companies who knowingly hire illegal workers three times. The bill passed 37-13.

Opponents of the legislation say immigration is a federal issue, and that the bill could cause families to be separated or cost the state millions. Supporters say the federal government is not dealing with the issue, so the state should step in.

The proposal now heads to the Democrat-led House, where it may struggle. House Speaker Patrick Bauer of South Bend has said he believes immigration is a federal issue and that he prefers the House doesn't deal with the topic this session

Too bad it has to go through a Democratic House, they are not much on protecting the American citizens!

Their presence is already causing the state millions more than they are paying in taxes.
