Kentucky lawmakers diverge on illegal immigration
By ROGER ALFORD - Dec 30, 2010 4:00 PM ET By The Associated Press
FRANKFORT, Ky. (AP) — House and Senate lawmakers don't agree on how to deal with illegal immigrants living in Kentucky.
Republican Senate President David Williams is pushing a proposal that would allow police to arrest illegal immigrants on trespassing charges for setting foot in Kentucky. Democratic House Speaker Greg Stumbo is endorsing legislation that would require employers to check the citizenship status of people before making hiring decisions, saying if illegal immigrants won't stay in Kentucky if they can't get jobs. Illegal immigration is being billed as one of the top issues Kentucky lawmakers will confront during the 2011 legislative session that begins Tuesday.
Williams, who is seeking his party's nomination to run for governor, said the immigration proposal Senate Republicans are pushing would be similar to a law passed in Arizona that allows police to determine the immigration status of people they detain. It also would allow illegal immigrants to be charged with criminal trespass if found on public or private property in the state. And it would make it illegal to harbor or transport illegal immigrants.
The Rev. Patrick Delahanty, head of the Catholic Conference of Kentucky, questioned Thursday why Kentucky would want to "clone" the controversial Arizona measure that is being challenged in court and that could cause Kentucky's already crowded jails to overflow. "It's not needed at all," Delahanty said. "There's no pressing problem here."
The Kentucky Long-Term Policy Research Center estimated last year that Kentucky has about 30,000 illegal immigrants. People involved in the debate, however, say the estimate is conservative, suggesting the actual number is at least twice that. Delahanty complained that the federal government has failed states by not adequately dealing with immigration. As a result, state lawmakers across the country have been taking on the problem.
Stumbo told reporters earlier this week that police already are authorized to check a person's citizenship status and take appropriate action. He said he would prefer legislation that holds companies accountable if they hire illegal immigrants. "If you really want to solve the immigration issue, then you make the burden on the employers, because if the jobs aren't here, neither would the illegal immigrants be here," Stumbo said.

Every Non-representative including obama and holder need to be IMPEACHED! for not upholding the oath of office they swore to defend the Constitution! If these clowns were to do their job, this would all be a Moot point!
Anchor babies and their criminal parents go, period, and cut the phony tears, you knew you were breaking the law when you crossed the border.
Next shut down any business hiring illegal labor and confiscate all property belonging to the owner. Property will be sold at auction and the proceeds to pay for the massive deportation. Oh and owners go to jail.
Got a better idea? Lets hear it!

Yes and they need to put the employers and the illegal aliens they hired in the same facility in the same cell for the same period of time.

These guys ever hear of bi-partisanship?
How about a bill that makes illegals stepping in kentucky on any property a tresspasser along with mandatory e-verify. That way e-verify finds them and we come in and collect em on criminal tresspass charges. If we find an illegal outside of that we get them on criminal tresspass and try and track down their employer to punish for breaking the law. Its a double winner both ways.

How about selling any property gotten by illegals just like drug dealers? They are, actually, obtaining things through illegal means. [edited]

I've been saying that for years. Soon as the first illegal act is commited assume everything else is profiting from illegal activities. Find an illegal deport them, confiscate all property and monetary assets even if this means they go home without 1 cent. It sure would help fill the defecit and the state budget gaps.
