Ballot Initiative Approved

Posted by keeparkansaslegal on Wednesday, October 14, 2009 8:37:48 PM

The ballot initiative to propose a constitutional amendment limiting benefits for illegal aliens has been approved by Arkansas Attorney General Dustin McDaniel. This initiative is very similar to the act we submitted last year. The approved initiative will soon be up for viewing and downloading. We will then need to gather enough signatures to put the initiative onto the 2010 election ballot.

Report on In-state tuition bill SB799

Posted by keeparkansaslegal on Wednesday, April 01, 2009 3:23:01 PM
Several Conservative activist from Secure Arkansas arrived at the Senate around noon and took positions in front of the Senate. We were able to flag down a few Senators as they moved around before the session started. We also talked to some state representatives who let us know that they would vote SB799 down if it reached the Arkansas House. We decided to use a posterboard sign that was very effective in getting our message to the senators and the media. The Arkansas Democrat Gazette was the first to talk to us. The rest waited until after the vote. There were several bills before SB799 so we had to wait until around 4:00pm before SB799 came up. We kept people outside, including myself, while others went into the Senate Gallery. There were only a few supporters of SB799 in the gallery and only one who appeared to lobby. Rita Sklarr of the ACLU showed up and chatted with a few senators.

Legislative Update 020609

HB1204-The Arkansas Blank Check Act (aka the cigarette tax) was passed by the house. This bill will go into the General Fund which in turn could go to illegal aliens. Governor Beebe has already mentioned funding about 20 other health programs. According to the AR legislative website, HB1204 was referred to Senate Committee on Revenue and Taxation. You can view the bill here:
www.arkleg.state.ar.us/assembly/2009 HB1204

Here is the list of members of the Senate Committee on Revenue and Taxation. This bill is being hurried and will likely be voted on by Tuesday:

________________________
There is a bill written by Jim Nickels that would allow the contractors licensing board to punish contractors that knowingly hire illegals HB1383. While so far this appears to be a good bill, it doesn't require businesses to use any verification system. When Petit Jean Poultry was raided by ICE and caught hiring over hundred illegals (including a 14 year old girl), they simply denied knowing the workers were illegal. A larger immigration reform bill that will include requiring businesses to verify their workers will be needed. We hope that Rep Nickels and other sponsors of HB1383 will support immigration reform legislation that takes away the "we didn't know excuse" from corrupt businesses.
