Illegal Immigration Legislation

NOTE: The following is list of important bills from my good friend, State Representative Russell Pearce, who asked me to pass along this information.


HCR2039 that eliminates ALL sanctuary policies that restrict law enforcement from enforcing immigration law and creates a Trespass provision for anyone that enters or remains in Arizona in violation of federal law.

ENDORSED: Phoenix Law Enforcement Association, NAILEM, along with Sheriff Joe and County Attorney Andy Thomas.HCR2063; the election of Superior Court Judges in Maricopa and Pima Counties like currently exist in the other 13 counties. In Maricopa County after 78% of the public passed Prop. 100 last November, judges set bond for 94.7% of illegal aliens who were arrested for serious felonies all in violation of the Constitution as Amended by 78% of the public. (ENDORSED BY SHERIFF JOE AND ANDY THOMAS AND THE STATE REPUBLICAN PARTY)

HCR2041; This eliminates all affirmative action programs in the state. Does not stop proper exceptions for proper work discrimination. (supported by Andy Thomas and about 80% of the public)

HB2625; Goes after Commercial activities (smuggling, drop houses, etc) and allows the properties to be seized, including vehicles, also requires landlords or renting agents to not knowingly or recklessly rent to any illegal alien with up to $250 per day for any violations.

HB2745; Employer Sanctions HB2745 is strengthening HB2779. In 2007, the Legislature passedHB 2779: fair and legal employment act, establishing the most comprehensive employer sanctions legislation in the country. As is a result with most legislation, it is necessary this year to follow with a clean-up bill in order to clarify any unanticipated, and unintended, consequences of last year's legislation and strengthen the current language. At this time we will continue with the initiatives unless we get a real deal with the folks pushing the illegal employers initiative to drop theirs first. I do believe we have a good law, much stronger than the initiative in many ways, but if theirs pass it will gut our law. (ENDORSED BY EAST VALLEY CHAMBER OF COMMERCE, SEVERAL OTHER CHAMBERS, ARIZONA REPUBLICAN PARTY, AND MANY BUSINESSES AND OVER 80% OF THE PUBLIC)

HB2751; Returns the NO Drivers License to a Criminal violation, so one does not have to release someone with no ID and potential fugitive from justice, etc. Discretion of officer like it use to be (Supported by all of law enforcement)
