Winston-Salem wants illegal immigrants off private payrolls – North Carolina

The city of Winston-Salem wants private companies to do more to keep illegal immigrants off their payrolls, though the city itself hasn’t gone as far as the federal or state government to track the immigration status of its own hires.

The city is changing its contracts with private companies – from landscapers to companies asking for economic incentives. The changes highlight that employers must comply with federal laws that require companies to verify that new hires are in the country legally. The changes, which will apply to new contracts and do not require the approval of the Winston-Salem City Council, come at the request of Council Member Nelson Malloy. He said he wants to make sure that city contracts do not benefit illegal immigrants.”*
