[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 843940, member: 17969"] Hey Trip, I know you make a habit of "tripping" over your thoughts, but i think you "tripped" this time and gave yourself a concussion. The BILL , House Bill 2779 (Fair and Legal Employment Act) was signed into law [B][U]NOT BY[/U][/B] the Republican sea hag Jan Brewer but by Democrat Janet Napolitano. """Gov. Janet Napolitano on Monday signed sweeping legislation against employers of undocumented workers, targeting the state's market for illegal labor with what she called “the most aggressive action in the country.” The penalty for violators: The suspension of a business license on the first violation and permanent revocation on a second, amounting to a death sentence for repeat offenders. “It's monumental. It's a change from anything we've done in the past,” said Speaker of the House Jim Weiers, R-Phoenix. “It's time for the states to start stepping up and stop waiting for Congress.”""" [B]Napolitano on employer sanctions[/B] [COLOR=blue]Since early 2006, Gov.

So trip, you were incorrect on who signed this bill into law and who NOW opposes it. The US Chamber of Commerce, or the repubilcans best friend in business wants things to remain as they are. THey are not in favor of this reform or any reform that removes cheap labor out of the workforce. Despite all the claims of patriotism and americanism, the Chamber would still rather see illegal aliens employed before hard working taxpaying americans. Peace. [/QUOTE]
