"In a new front on the assault on illegal immigration, a proposal would require companies doing business with Suffolk County to certify their employees are in the U.S. legally ....Levy's proposal, which has its opponents, would affect about 6,000 companies and agencies that have county contracts. The penalties include fines and potential jail time, and repeat offenders could forfeit their contracts."

I say it's one more small step for defending America and one giant leap for citizenship rights.

LMAO I live in Suffolk County and I think they might have a problem with it. Look in the yellow pages for a shooting range or something. If you do it on the 4th of July they might think it's just fireworks

It's a great idea.
On the down side, palm bay florida just turned down a propasal to hold employers accountable. Of course, in florida everybody is corrupt, so it is no surprise, that they don't see a crime, or immorality in using slave labor. The fact is, is that illegls can not possibly have a legal taxpayer I.D. So the employers are breaking the law by filing false tax statements through their businesses. Fine them AND throw them in jail, on the first offense. They are supposed to be responsible businessmen, they should know the law.

It is a federal prob and the govt. needs to deal with it , hopefully asap . All these little individual attempts throughout the country on local level, are just causing animosity, something that will lead to worse feelings , like abject hatred down the line?

I think that it is great. City by city, county by county, state by state, This nation has begun to defend itself from these criminal invaders by making it known that they are unwelcome.

Sounds great to me. I don't think we should punish the illegals, we should punish those who hire them. Just like with drugs, not the user, punish the dealer.

Beleave it or not, I also think it's great. This is how the "problem" started, and it's a great step in fixing it.

Well, they asked for it and they got it. We decided to do as they insisted and we owe them a debt of gratitude. Thanks pro-team, your suggestions are really making our effort take shape.
