Two New Bills Introduced in October

Nashville Metro Councilman Jim Gotto introduced two bills last October. One would bar landlords from collecting rent from illegal immigrants and ban those landlords from renting at all in the county after the first offense. The second would suspend the business license of employers who hire illegal immigrants. Source: Volunteer Voters

Something has to be done, our citizens are suffering with over population as well as losing our jobs to people who will accept lower pay.

I think the most effective way is to get companies to comply with the employment laws. If they have no jobs they won't be able to afford a place to live, thus going back home.

Making it the landlords responsibility is making him a "police." Someone could show him fake documents and then he has done his job.

There is one alternative to this is the larger rental companies who have people on staff that would be experienced at looking and verifying these records, such as apartment communities. They seem to have the highest populations of hispanics. A landlord with one or two houses isn't going to be able to police it and thus get their privileges taken away.
