Bills look to crack down on hiring of illegal workers
One bill currently in the committee on Federal and
The issue of immigration is incredibly politically divisive and it doesn't always divide along party lines — one reason Gov. Brownback seems fairly willing to leave the issue alone. But with Secretary of State Kris Kobach on his staff, who has made illegal immigration a top-tier priority, it's highly unlikely the issue won't surface in this legislative session.
There are several bills currently sitting in committees that aim to crack down on the hiring of illegal immigrants.
Some opponents of the E-verify system, including the Kansas Chamber of Commerce, have argued that
a law like this would place unnecessary burdens on businesses and would create more problems than it would solve.
Other, more stringent bills, would not only require businesses to use worker verification systems, but they would enact strict penalties for businesses that violate the law.
State Affairs would require all employers to use a federal work authorization program, such as E-verify. E-verify is an Internet-based system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of employees to work in the United States. With this law, the state would not award a public works contract of more than $5,000 to a business unless it is actively participating in a federal work authorization program.
