Your Employees Must Be Legal Residents Act

House Bill

To ensure that organizations receiving federal contracts are employing legal Atlasian residents.

Be it enacted in the House of Representatives and the Senate of the Republic of Atlasia assembled,

1.  Any organization seeking or holding federal Atlasian government contracts which is found to knowingly employ undocumented immigrants will be ineligible for new contracts for two years following the discovery of these immigrants.

   A. The SoIA shall compile an effective and efficient procedure by which companies can verify the status of their employees. The terms of the above shall apply once the procedure is in place and companies have been given a “reasonable” chance to utilize it.

   B. Contracts that deal with critical defense or emergency related procurement may be given exemption based on the situation, but must be required to take steps to ensure the legality of their workforce going forward and the Department of Internal Affairs shall certify they have done so.

2.  The bill is not affecting contracts for companies, that employed undocumented immigrants without knowing their legal status. Said companies are required to remove any undocumented employees within a period of two months instead.

3. No provision in this bill shall be construed as to condone or legalize any violations of current laws regarding racial profiling and civil rights. Any and all such violations shall be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of existing law at the time of the violation's occurrence.

Nay

Nay

[lfromnj]

Abstain. Probably should enforce the law but Im quite pro immigration.

[Dr. MB]

Nay

[fhtagn]

Aye

It's a shame that the Labor Party and those that form a coalition with them support the exploitation of workers and big companies that violate the law, and can't even be bothered to engage in an honest debate about it. Talk about hypocrisy.

[JGibson]

NAY

[#TheShadowyAbyss]

Nay

[Esteemed Jimmy]

With a majority of representatives voting to reject this bill, the vote will close in 24 hours and any Representative who wishes to change his or her vote must do so during that interval.

[fhtagn]

It's also a shame that Jimmy voted against it, especially when his own running mate, and the top of his party's ticket in the upcoming election has mentioned support for these sorts of measures, and even expressed that this bill doesn't go far enough.

It doesn't look good for our "esteemed" speaker.

[alancia]
