Businesses in Ohio would have to use the federal government's online E-Verify program to check the Social Security numbers of new hires under a bill proposed by State Representative Courtney Combs of Hamilton. He says the bill aims to keep illegal immigrants from taking jobs from Ohioans. The bill would also require law enforcement agencies in Ohio to verify that every person arrested is legally in this country. Those who aren't would be turned over to immigration authorities. Combs introduced the bill this week. He says there are 11 co-sponsors. Butler County Sheriff Richard Jones is also supporting it. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has opposed similar measures in other states. The organization says E-Verify is unreliable and unfairly imposes penalities on employers.
