Davidson County, NC Votes Against Illegal Immigration Employment Fines
DAVIDSON COUNTY, N.C. (WGHP) - The Davidson County Board of Commissioners voted 5-2 against a proposal that would have made it a requirement for contractors to comply with the E-Verify program before committing to any work., according to the Lexington Dispatch.
Commissioner Fred McClure proposed the county make this is a requirement before entering into any contract agreement of $3,000 or more with an outside company.
If a contractor was found in breach of a contract under his proposal, McClure suggested that a fine of $100 per day from the date that the noncompliance was discovered be paid to the county until such was corrected.
"This E-Verify is a very simple program and it is at no cost," McClure told the paper. "I believe that we need to make sure the dollars that we collect from our citizens in taxes are paid out on our contracts to those people who are legal U.S. citizens."
