MISSOURI PASSES TOUGH NEW EMPLOYER SANCTIONS LAW
Employers in Missouri will now be subject to losing business licenses for hiring unauthorized aliens and many employers in the state will have to begin using E-Verify.The law takes effect January 1, 2009. I've read through the bill and have prepared a summary. Note that the governor still needs to sign it before it goes final, but this is expected to happen shortly. Download missouri_client_memo.pdf

All the immimgration bills are dead for now as per the attached link.
Congress Daily AM reported today that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) stripped the AgJOBS amnesty from the Iraq supplemental spending bill last night, as well as the increase in visas for employment-based permanent workers. However, provisions to increase H-2B visas for unskilled seasonal workers remain in the bill.
