VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (AP) - A new clause in Virginia Beach city contracts says area businesses must pledge they're not hiring illegal immigrants.
Under the new measure, city officials would be allowed to audit companies they believe are breaking the law. The guidelines are set to take effect once City Manager Jim Spore issues clearance to city departments.
Some say the move may stop some illegal immigration locally, but won't end it completely.
Nevertheless, the city has faced mounting pressure to step up its anti-illegal immigration efforts since last spring. That's when two teenager girls were killed when their car was struck by vehicle driven by an illegal immigrant who was drunk.
City officials say it's difficult to strengthen immigration laws because of certain federal laws that take precedent.
Good for them. Thank you.
Pledging won’t do much, it has to be enforced in the company.
Nice graphic.
The young ladies killed by the murderous invader.
Uh-huh.... I pledge allegience, to the profits of my business in Virginia Beach...

Local cities, counties and (some) states, doing the work that Americans are unwilling to do (in D.C.).
We are already seeing the whining, moaning and sob stories about Mexicans leaving Oklahoma and now Phoenix because they are removing all vestiges of sanctuary laws. And the Mexicans are literally leaving the U.S. and going back home. And they are going in numbers large enough to get the Sonoran government in northern Mexico to blame America for the overpopulation in their public schools and hospitals. Shame on us, for sure.
the economy or the lack there of will stop the illegals.
Say hello to another great depression!! deflation, recession, just name it!! it is here and it is going to be big !!
Say notning of our liberal prersident who champions their cause.
And remember that at the time, even the father of one of the girls insisted that the killer being illegal wasn’t an issue. Looks like Va. Beach has come a long way.
A humble suggestion, “NO COMPROMISE” be moved to the bottom of the “Red, White, and Blue” banner, as it makes a final statement.
Virginia Beach OKs pledge to keep out illegal immigrants...
good for them....too bad other cities don’t ok likewise and keep out the illegal invaders!!!!
Doing the job Jorge refuses to do.
The blood of those girls is on Jorge’s and every congressman’s hands who has ignored and given perks to illegals.
Mc Cain and huckerbee wants all the illegals to stay in the country
disgusting
yet again another person died from an illegal this time a border agent yet it wasn’t on the news much nor the many others in a day what die from illegals.
wonder why the liberal media haven’t covered this more
