Group supports tougher restrictions for worker verification

KARK 4 -Arkansas Matters: A group called Secure Arkansas held a rally inside the State Capitol today to voice its support for a bill that could affect illegal immigration in the state. Rep. Bill Sample filed a bill this week which would require public employers to use a verification process before hiring workers. Secure Arkansas tried and failed to gather signatures to put an immigration issue on the ballot in November. At the capitol today, the group introduced construction workers who claim they are unemployed because they cannot compete with the wages of illegal workers. A group called the Arkansas Friendship Coalition is opposing the bill. The coalition says a similar law in Oklahoma hurt the state’s economy.
