Thread: A horsey died last year

The "news" here is full of the sad tale of a Derby horse that died after injuring its' leg LAST YEAR. There has been no mention of KY House Bill 304.

KY: 2008 House Bill 304 (Increase law enforcement powers over illegal immigration)

Introduced by Rep. Robert R Damron on January 16, 2008, to expand definition of identity theft to include, among other things, use of another's identity to gain employment. The bill also expands the ability of local and state officials to enforce federal immigration laws. The bill also prohibits intentional employment of illegal aliens by those who do business with any publicly created entities of government. The bill provides for employers found to be employing illegal aliens unknowingly to avoid prosecution but to, instead, be ordered to file quarterly reports on immigration status of all employees during a probationary period. Any employer found to be employing illegal aliens during a probationary period will be subject to losing its business license. The bill also prohibits any unit of government from directing its employees or agents to not follow the provisions of this bill. The provisions in this bill would become effective on January 1, 2009.
Referred to the House Judiciary Committee on January 22, 2008.

I contacted him about 3 weeks ago. He emailed back and told me to contact my district reps....which I did and received nothing from them.

Why does it have to wait till january 2009?Those laws are already in some form already on the books,why not enfoce them now.FEBUARY 2008 is better date if they want to pass anopther law they do not entend to enforce.

Hi moosey,
I was hoping my fellows were on this. Thanks for the help. The Judiciary Committee is taking testimony from citizens with the chair giving continuing warning that this is a federal responsibility. Yeah, they won't answer. They're busy holding up the carpet for the sweep.

This guy might be the best contact on the committee to help get this a vote. He's a straight shooter and courageous.
