Republican candidate Hal Heiner announced today his proposal to implement E-Verify in Kentucky, a measure to ensure that Kentucky jobs go to legal Kentucky workers. The E-Verify program allows employers to identify the immigration status of potential hires by checking names against government databases. E-Verify comes at no cost to employers. Heiner’s proposal would require the use of E-Verify to confirm legal worker status for all employers, government employees and government contractors and subcontractors.

The 2015 GOP frontrunners David Vitter(LA), Phil Bryant(MS) and Heiner(KY) are big opponents of illegal aliens.

Governor

I was solidly behind Bevin when he stepped up to take McConnell on last year. And I believe Bevin was a pretty conservative candidate in many respects but I never got a good feel that he was that good on immigration issues. Heiner may well be the guy to back for governor.

Typical government politician forcing employers to do the enforcement because the government won’t close the border.

Heiner is a horrible candidate for governor. He supported a statewide smoking ban. He helped send a lot of jobs across the river to Indiana. And he’s also involved in a very nasty mud-slinging campaign.

Thanks for the info; I wasn’t aware of that. (I’m not a Bluegrasser.) How do you think Bevin and Heiner compare on immigration (realizing that this is a state office)?
