Fremont business leaders say they worry a new ordinance targeting illegal immigration could hurt the community more than help.
Fremont Area Chamber of Commerce Director Allan Hale and Greater Fremont Development Council Director Kevin Wilkins say they don't condone illegal activity but believe the proposed law's newly added hiring provisions could hit small businesses the hardest.
The Fremont City Council will consider the proposal Tuesday. A final vote is set for next month.
If approved, employers would have to use a federal Internet-based employment verification system.
Hale and Wilkins say larger employers already use the system. Hale said small businesses not using the Internet could encounter more problems.
