PROPONENT TESTIMONY FOR OHIO SB 35 & SB 150
TUESDAY, MARCH 2, 2010
BEGINS AT 10 AM- ARRIVE 20 MINUTES BEFORE
IT IS VITAL FOR MANY OF US TO ATTEND THIS HEARING
Each person who testifies next Tuesday is to bring thirty copies of their testimony.
Senator Hughes office asks that we keep it as brief as possible - five minutes or less. It was suggested that we actually make it four minutes or less and then it gives us an opportunity to ask if they have any questions.
They have started a new procedure - they ask us when we arrive to sign in and after our signature they would like us to put an estimate for the length of time of our testimony.
SENATE BILL 35 sponsored by Senators Bill Seitz (R - Cincinnati) and Jimmy Stewart (R - Albany) would mandate that the Ohio Attorney General pursue a memorandum of agreement with Immigrations and Customs Enforcement to deputize Ohio law enforcement officers as immigration enforcement officers. This would provide for the enforcement of both criminal and civil violations of immigration law. This memorandum agreement is commonly referred to as a 287(g) program.
The bill language below is also available at: http://www.legislature.state.oh.us/bills.cfm?ID=128_SB_35
SENATE BILL 150 sponsored by Senator Gary Cates (R-West Chester), would provide that a board of county commissioners may direct a sheriff to take custody of persons who are being detained for deportation or who are charged with criminal violations of immigration law and to expressly authorize state and local employees and county sheriffs to render assistance to federal immigration officials in the investigation and enforcement of federal immigration law. Senate Bill 150 is a reintroduction of the last general assembly's Senate Bill 260, which contained the same provisions. The bill text is currently in the Senate State and Local Government and Veterans Affairs Committee.

I hope Ohio gets an illegal immigration law like many other states have. Some of those states are Oklahoma, Arizona, Mississippi, Georgia, Utah, Nebraska, South Carolina, Colorado and a few other States. It is time to CRACKDOWN on this illegal immigration! Our Federal Government has left us down big time in controlling this illegal immigration.
ReplyDeleteIllegal aliens are destroying this Country, and one would have to be almost blind not to see this. How much longer do we have to support these illegal aliens? How much longer do we have to school their illegal alien children? How much longer are we going to let them have our jobs? How much longer are we going to put up with all the crime, stolen identities, forged documents, fake green cards? How much longer are we going to allow these illegal aliens to send money out of this Country and bring our Country down? Oh, amnesty will correct all this. WRONG! Nothing will change except we wouldn't be able to call them illegal aliens any more. Let's get rid of these illegal aliens! Let's get them back to their own Country where they belong!
I'm from Delaware, and we are pressing to get the Oklahoma State Illegal Immigration Law, HB 1804. passed here in Delaware. Three years ago we had about 32,000 illegal aliens here. Today we have about 68,000 illegal aliens here. We have had it! We want our State back!
If you want the State of Ohio back, get a law passed and ENFORCE it!
The OH Senate passed both bills.
ReplyDeletenow make it tougher. Like Arizona.
ReplyDeleteOK LETS START WITH ALL OF YOUR ILLEGAL ANCESTORS WHO CAME TO AMERICA .. IF THE BASTARDS WANT TO PASS THIS LAW START WITH EVERYONE WHO IS NOT A TRUE AMRICAN AND NO ONE IS UNLESS THEY're AN AMERICAN INDIAN!!!! iF THE INDIANS WANTED TO SHUT DOWN THE BORDER TO KEEP ALL OF US FROM COMING AMERICA WOULD NOT BE AMERICA!!!! BY THE WAY THERE ARE NO TRUE NATIVE BLACK PEOPLE OR WHITE PEOPLE OR ANYONE ELSE ON THIS CONTINENT UNLESS THEY ARE NATIVE AMERICAN! AND THEY ARE WORKING THE JOBS THAT AMERICANS ARE TO LAZY TO WORK OR TOO GREDY TO ASK FOR TO MUCH MONEY!!! I'm SURE HALF OF YOU HAVE TOO MUCH PRIDE TO WORK AT A PLACE LIKE MCDONALDS!!
