To: Louisiana’s Senators & House of Representatives

Dear Sirs and Madams,

Our state along with others is spending billions on illegals as the articles below will bear out.

Other states have passed state laws to deal with this problem with success. To name a few Arkansas, Colorado, and Pennsylvania. They have done this mainly by passing state laws making it a felony to hire or rent to illegals. Some states will not allow any type of identification to be issued to illegals which includes driver’s licenses.

As we are getting little or no help the federal government on this matter it is time for Louisiana to implement its own state laws.

Hopefully you will take this matter into serious consideration and pass laws that will stop this waste of tax payer’s money on illegals.

The Federal Immigration and Nationality ActSection 8 USC 1324(a)(1)(A)(iv)(b)(iii)  states that “State and local law enforcement officials have the general power to investigate and arrest violators of federal immigration statutes without prior INS knowledge or approval, as long as they are authorized to do so by state law.”
