HAMILTON — Butler County Sheriff Richard K. Jones and state Rep. Courtney Combs today, April 27 plan to ask legislators to back an immigration bill similar to Arizona’s in an attempt to crackdown on people living in Ohio illegally, according to Local 12 WKRC.
Jones and Combs said they would send a letter today to the Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, demanding that an immigration bill get unstalled and that Ohio follow Arizona’s lead on illegal immigration, according to Local 12.
Last year Combs, R-Hamilton, introduced a bill that would require employers to check the Social Security numbers of new employees to assure they are in the country legally. Combs said in May 2009 the bill about giving jobs to Americans and taking away a paycheck from illegal immigrants during tough economic times.
Jones, who has gained a reputation of taking a hard line on illegal immigration, said the bill also is about giving law enforcement more teeth to stop illegal immigrants with fake documents.
As introduced last year, the bill would require all public and private employers to check Social Security numbers against the federal government’s free E-Verify system before hiring someone.
Their action comes as protests have erupted in Arizona, since the governor there signed an immigration bill into law last week. The bill makes being an illegal immigrant a state offense. Police can ask suspected illegals for documentation, and arrest them if they don’t have papers.
Opponents say the law will lead to rampant racial profiling and turn Arizona into a police state with provisions that require police to question people about their immigrant status . But supporters of the law, set to take effect in late July or August, say it is necessary to protect Arizonans from a litany of crimes committed by illegal immigrants.

I’m lovin’ it!
MUST SEE!
They’re back: A gallery of open-borders extremists; Update: May Day is Che Day; vandals strike AZ capitol
Seems the only people against the Arizona law are leftists and illegals. Isn’t THAT a shock.
AZ mirrored the federal law so all the states have to do is have a bill of their own that reflects what the federal law is that the fed’s don’t want to enforce. It’s up to the states now to crack down since the Obamination regime doesn’t want to do it ....
Odd, in my various foreign travels these last few years, I've had to have a passport (papers) EVERYWHERE... Central and South America, Europe, Middle East, Taiwan, Australia.
Seems the MSM should present what goes on in (lets just say Mexico) and examine, for the world to see, their procedures/laws/enforcement for immigration. Would be a real eye opener for the liberal lackeys.
Excellent!
Kudos.
You know, if Mexicans & Hispanics love their homeleands enough, you’d think they’d fight to fix them and raise the standards of living THERE.

I’ve found stuff on Mexico’s immigration policy here:

Obama is not going to like this.
LMAO at Obama.
Once again Obama proves to be a failure... he can not lead a people that refuse to follow.
Whoohoo! AZ first, now Utah and Ohio considering it. On to the rest of the states.
Thanks for the info/link...I appreciate it. Revealing...isn’t it???
Man, let us pray it starts to spread like the CCW laws did. San Francisco would have to boycott most of the Union.
How Mexico Treats Illegal AliensTownhall.com ^ | April 28, 2010 | Michelle Malkin
Mexican President Felipe Calderon has accused Arizona of opening the door "to intolerance, hate, discrimination and abuse in law enforcement." But Arizona has nothing on Mexico when it comes to cracking down on illegal aliens. While open-borders activists decry new enforcement measures signed into law in "Nazi-zona" last week, they remain deaf, dumb or willfully blind to the unapologetically restrictionist policies of our neighbors to the south.The Arizona law bans sanctuary cities that refuse to enforce immigration laws, stiffens penalties against illegal alien day laborers and their employers, makes it a misdemeanor for immigrants to fail to complete and carry an alien registration document, and allows the police to arrest immigrants unable to show documents proving they are in the U.S. legally. If those rules constitute the racist, fascist, xenophobic, inhumane regime that the National Council of La Raza, Al Sharpton, Catholic bishops and their grievance-mongering followers claim, then what about these regulations and restrictions imposed on foreigners?........................................................”
