Others wonder if state can afford to enforce job law
A new http://wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3476 and paranoia among some business owners, hiring managers and immigrant advocates.
Almost 50 people gathered in Southeast Nashville Wednesday evening for a public information session about the law, intended to stop employers from hiring workers who are in the U.S. illegally.
On Jan. 1, http://wvwnews.net/story.php?id=1257 joined Arizona as the only states in the nation to threaten employers who “knowingly” hire illegal immigrants with significant sanctions.
In both states employers caught more than once can lose their business licenses.
In http://wvwnews.net/story.php?id=3377, a series of lawsuits brought by business, civil liberties and immigrant advocacy groups halted the law’s enforcement until at least March 1. But in Tennessee, the state is moving forward with plans to investigate reports of illegal workers on job sites. That got the attention of the state’s private business owners.
