Bill penalizes firms for hiring migrants
Businesses upset; boycott promised

Arizona employers caught hiring undocumented immigrants could lose their business license for six months and be barred from seeking government contracts under a measure that gained preliminary approval Tuesday.

State senators tentatively agreed on the employer sanction provisions, attached to House Bills 2030 and 2592, designed to curb illegal border-crossers.

The provision, which is far from being final, drew opposition from the business community.

"That would be a death penalty for any business," said Farrell Quinlan, a spokesman for the Arizona Chamber of Commerce.

The flurry of immigration bills breezing through the Legislature, as well as the recent Minuteman Project along the Arizona-Mexico border, prompted some prominent Latinos to pursue an economic boycott against the state.

More than 100 Latinos, Native Americans and other leaders decided to go ahead with the boycott but said they will carry out meetings throughout the state before setting a launch date.

"We will hit them where it hurts the most: their pocketbook," said Salvador Reza, who is working with a California-based immigrant rights group and leaders from Arizona, Texas as well as other states to organize the boycott.

The recent anti-immigrant campaigns give Arizona a bad image, much like the state faced in the late 1980s over the lack of a holiday to honor the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., Reza said.

The plan is to ask businesses and corporations across the nation to book their events elsewhere, said Reza, who runs Phoenix's Macehualli Work Center in northeast Phoenix.

Some legislators called the planned boycott a slap in the face to Arizonans who want to put the brakes on illegal immigration.

"I don't think they can pull it off," said Rep. Russell Pearce, a Mesa Republican and a leading supporter of voter-approved Proposition 200 and several of the immigration bills.

The threat of a boycott didn't stop the Senate on Tuesday from tentatively embracing House Bill 2030, which denies immigrants child-care subsidies, literacy classes and other government-funded benefits.

Senators also gave the thumbs up to HB 2592, which bans cities, towns and counties from spending money on immigrants who line the Valley's streets waiting for jobs.


More progress.

As opposed to the death penalty routinely inflicted on Americans by your little pets when they run amok and kill citizens?

Yeah, here's what they think of us "gringos".

ABOUT FUCKING TIME. It needs to go NATIONAL. Protect the citizens, NOT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
