H.B. 1531 has Passed the Indiana House; it has Been Assigned to the Senate Judiciary Committee - but it HAS NOT been SCHEDULED FOR A HEARING!
Tell your Senators to move H.B. 1531 through the Judiciary Committee - or move it to a committee that will do their job!
Representatives JD Prescott, Chris Jeter, Michelle Davis, and Garrett Bascom's H.B. 1531 builds on an existing 2011 law and requires ALL local Indiana Sheriffs to comply with Immigration and Customs Enforcement's alien detainer requests.
Due to the escalating consequences of mass migration, honoring illegal alien detainers is now more critical than ever. By collaborating with ICE, local Indiana law enforcement can ensure that foreign nationals who commit crimes in the Hoosier State are not merely released back into the community but detained in coordination with ICE.
But H.B. 1531 Goes Farther
The Bill Strengthens Punishments for Indiana Employers Who Skirt the Law by Strongly Encouraging E-Verify!
E-Verify fosters investment in and opportunities for a state's legal workforce. By reducing the availability of illegal labor, companies are encouraged to invest in the training and development of the local workforce. This leads to a higher quality and skilled workforce, boosting economic growth and productivity.
Most companies in Indiana want to do the right thing! Yet, they are undercut by unscrupulous businesses (and their lobbyists) that unfairly thrive on cheap, easily abused illegal labor. This process harms legal workers and lowers Americans’ wages.
E-Verify will level that playing field!
The Consequences of Mass Migration Cannot be Ignored!
