Internet pledge against illegal hiring catches on with companies
Posted on: October 31st, 2007
Marlett believes illegal immigration is wrong and hiring illegal immigrants is even worse.
In an effort to change the system, he started a Web site — www.ProAmericaCompanies.com — where companies can sign a pledge that they will not “knowingly hire illegal or undocumented workers” and report anyone they suspect of being in the country illegally.
The ProAmerica Web site was launched in June and already has 920 businesses on board in 44 states, including Georgia, Marlett says. It has also led to donations and a plan to open a ProAmerica lobbying office in Washington. Several regional chapters are also sprouting across the country.”*
