FRANKFORT, Kentucky -- A bill to crack down on illegal aliens working and living in Kentucky is to be filed by State Representative Rick Nelson. The bill is to be considered by the 2008 Kentucky General Assembly.
By giving local law enforcement the ability to enforce immigration laws and by increasing prosecution of businesses that hire illegal aliens, Nelson said his proposal will “significantly reduce” the number of undocumented workers in the state. He also said the bill will also cut down on the total number of illegal aliens in Kentucky by making it less desirable for undocumented workers to locate their families here.
“Our schools, jails and tax system is being crushed under the weight of Kentucky’s illegal immigration crisis. The only way to solve the problem is to make it more difficult for undocumented workers to find employment in our state. That is what will happen under this tough piece of legislation,” stated Nelson.
