Missouri HB 197
If Missouri HB 197 is passed any contractor that hires illegal aliens to work on publicly financed projects will be fined plus they will not be able to bid on publicly financed projects for ten years. I feel this is a step in the right direction. The way to stop the practice of hiring illegal aliens is to stop the practice from being so profitable.

Let's stop with the "jobs Americans don't want" comment since I'm sure there are plenty of Americans who would perform the tasks rather than starve.
I agree that this is a step in the right direction though. But let's not stop there. Why not add public disclosure and humiliation to the mix so that more than just the court watchers can be apprised of who is hiring illegals and undermining our national economy?
Let's not stop the "jobs Americans don't want" argument, though.
I work for a landscaping company. We use the H2B visa program -- legal workers from Mexico, basically. One of the safeguards in place in the program is that my company is required to post many ads for the open positions (in this case, laborers) before we can even ask to hire immigrants.
Last year we needed 50 people for summer work. How many Americans even applied? 8. How many Americans withdrew their application (or just stopped answering their phones) after hearing what the work entailed? 6.
And this is in a state with a 5.9 unemployment rate.
Sounds like a good plan to me!

Most American company hire illegal aliens so they can pay less for their services. There's a lot of illegal immigrants applying for some position at http://assistedlivinglittlerockarkansas.com. But they only hire skilled American citizen.
