Senate Bill Toughens Immigration Laws - Mississippi

Passing the Senate with only five dissenting votes, Senate Bill 2037 requires businesses under contract with the state of Mississippi to use only U.S. citizens or legal immigrants…or at least make an effort to verify their workers’ eligibility.

An agreement couldn’t be met last year in Congress on what to do with the possible twelve million illegal immigrants in the United States. Saying they’ve heard from constituents concerned about the illegal immigration problem, the Mississippi Senate took matters into their own hands.”*
