Kansas: Immigration issue will be back
They complained that it would create a hardship on employers and turn them into immigration police. E-Verify and license revocations were not in the compromise.
The compromise made hiring illegal immigrants a civil offense for businesses. Courts could order employers to stop hiring illegal workers and the employer could be fined or jailed for contempt of court for not complying.
The House version included criminal penalties for businesses that illegally treat any worker as an independent subcontractor, known as misclassification.
Negotiators removed that, and supporters of misclassification banded together to twice defeat a procedural move that would have allowed a vote in the House.
The Senate, which controlled the negotiating committee, wouldn’t consider misclassification, so the bill languished until the session’s end.
The compromise created crimes such as coercing employees, holding a person in involuntary servitude to satisfy a debt, human trafficking, dealing in false identification documents and employment identity fraud.
It also required illegal immigrants arrested to face specific bail amounts, but also gave judges the discretion to decide bail except for non-bail felonies such a murder.
It also banned public benefits except what the federal government requires. Exempted are in-state tuition for illegal immigrants and children under court supervision and those in foster care.
