I know our income tax laws require proof of residency for employment, but as a businessman, why in the world should I bear the burden of ensuring that my customers are legal residents?

Or can legally buy alcohol, tobacco and porn?

Or are legally able to enter into a binding contract?

Or can legally sign an instrument presented for payment?

Or is legally responsible for credit cards presented?

Or can legally smoke or not smoke on my premises?

Or can legally buy weapons?

Or that I’m not employing pedophiles in my daycare center or school?

Or that I’m not employing GTA convicts in my auto dealership?

Or that other contractors, working on my business, have proper insurance?

Or that delivery employees are insured and licensed?

Anyone else have any?

The ACLU should have the A taken out of its name. When they refuse to help Americans and turns to the illegal border crosser’s.The ACLU.is a traitor to it’s own name.In fact they can be sued and I’m talking to an attorney, now. If the town wants to stop all the crap,about their law.There is one way, change it just a little to say all have to prove they are an American. There is more ways to skin a cat then one.

Tell me again why the Puerto Rican Legal Defense and Education Fund is part of this? People from Puerto Rico are American Citizens.

Good catch on that spin. I am kind of curious what New Jersey law they are speaking about. I live in Illinois and the schooling for illegal immigrants alone would almost eliminate our budget deficit. We need to take care of our own and pay our bills before increasing the legal immigration level if we need it.
