Summary of Legislation Below is a summary of new legislation prepared by the Immigration Reform Law Institute, which is in compliance with federal law and similar to Oklahoma's immigration law. This legislation can be adapted to Nevada law by the Legislative Council Bureau when submitted by a legislator. If you're a Nevada Senator or Assembly person and want a full text of the proposed legislation, click here for the 33 page PDF document. It is a a big download so be patient or you can email us at staff@nvaction.com and we'll send you the full document. Proposed Nevada Taxpayer and Citizenship Protection Act of 2009 This proposed Legislation was prepared by the Immigration Reform Institute. This summary was prepared by Janine Hansen, State President of Nevada Eagle Forum. Section 101 : Makes transportation, harboring or inducement of illegal aliens to reside in the state a felony. It establishes forfeiture of property including an aircraft, vehicle, or vessel used to transport illegal aliens. This Provision is important because it counteracts the common argument that “illegal immigration is not a crime in our state.” Section 102: Reproduces in state law the provision of federal anti-sanctuary statutes. This would prohibit sanctuary laws to protect illegal aliens like the ones passed in cities across the nation. No local government can enact any ordinance or policy that limits or prohibits a law enforcement officer from communicating or cooperating with federal officials regarding the migration status of any person within this state. Section 103: Requires jailers to verify immigration status of foreign prisoners detained on DUI or felony charges. Local law enforcement agencies routinely detain more illegal aliens than the federal government. Section 104 : Requires the state to negotiate and implement a cooperative law enforcement agreement with U.S. Dept of Homeland Security to cross-designate trained state of local police officers as federal immigration enforcement officers, so that they can enforce federal law regarding illegal immigration. Section 201: Requires public employers and contractors to verify employments status of new employees using the online E-Verify system. E-Verify is an Internet-based system operated by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) in partnership with the Social Security Administration. Section 202: Requires state and local agencies to verify lawful status of applicants as a condition of eligibility for federal, state, and local public benefits through SAVE “Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements”. The SAVE Program enables federal, state, and local government agencies and licensing bureaus to obtain immigration status information. This section provides for criminal penalties for false statements and fraud. Section 203: Requires businesses employing an independent contractor (IRS form 1099) to withhold tax from such income at the highest marginal rate unless work authorization of the contractor is verified. Most casual laborers are not considered to be independent contractors, so Section 203 would not apply to them. Section 204: Restricts eligibility for all postsecondary education benefits, including scholarships, financial aid, enrollment in public institution degree programs, and resident tuition to persons lawfully present in US; grandfather clause protect currently enrolled illegal aliens. Section 205: Makes compensation over $600 per year paid to unauthorized alien workers non-deductible for state tax purposes. Protects employers who have checked with E-Verify on status of worker. Broader version of Section 205 is for states, which have a state income tax so it does not apply to Nevada. Section 301: Amends state civil rights law to make discharge of protected US workers while continuing to employ illegal aliens at the same job site or job classification a discriminatory practice; makes labor organizations who refer illegal aliens for employment jointly liable with employers. Creates safe harbor for employers and unions using E-Verify Section 302: Classifies employers subject to two or more compensation claims from illegal aliens in one year as “non-compliant” employers. Section 303: Makes employment by day laborers who lack employment authorization a misdemeanor. Section 304: Restricts the operation of day labor hiring halls, immigrant worker education centers, etc., for illegal alien workers operated by taxpayer-funded or tax-exempt funds. Section 401: Most states require that an applicant for a drivers’ license be a “resident” of the state. This section simply excludes persons who are not lawfully present in the U.S. from the definition of “resident.” It requires the state use the federal SAVE system to verify that non-citizen applicant is not an ineligible alien. Section 402: Similarly to Section 401, it restricts personal ID cards issued by the state to citizens or legal permanent immigrants. Uses the SAVE system. Section 403: Declares English as the official language for state business. Section 404: Illegal aliens frequently experience exploitation by members of their own linguistic communities who purport to provide advice and assistance to remain in the U.S. This section restricts provision of immigration legal advice to licensed attorneys. Section 405: (working concept) Makes acceptance of an Individual Taxpayer Identity Number (ITIN) for purposes not authorized by the US Treasury Dept. or IRS a state misdemeanor. Section 501: (working concept) Creates a Commission on Population Growth Impacts to study domestic and foreign sources of population growth and provides recommendation on economic, environmental, and land use impacts. In most states population growth is mostly driven by mass immigration.
Here's what we need to do:
1. Call Legislators (see list) and ask them to support, sponsor, or co-sponsor state legislation to enforce illegal immigration laws. Specifically ask them to back the "Proposed Nevada Tax and Citizenship Act of 2009"
2. If you can't
call or write everyone, then at least contact Sen. Bob Beers and
Assemblyman Ty Cobb plus those who represent you.
3. There is no secret that the only time MOST politicians listen to you is when they are up for re-election. So call them now. 4. The success or failure of this program depends on you, your family and friends calling about this matter. If they don't hear from you, they will not take action.
It's simple to get involved, especially if you're able to use a computer. Sign up for our newsletter and go to "How You Can Help" on this site.
