Oklahoma defends law aimed at illegal immigrants

author Published by Chris Chmielenski

Attorneys for Oklahoma went before a federal appeals court Monday to defend a law that requires companies doing business with the state to use a federal database to verify their workers and contractors are eligible to work in the U.S.

Sections of the law were blocked by a federal judge in Oklahoma in June after the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and others challenged it, saying the “E-Verify” program is unreliable and unfairly imposes penalties on employers.http://www.forbes.com/feeds/ap/2009/05/04/ap6375722.htmlBy P.
