* Prevents a business from claiming as a deductible business expense any wages paid to an undocumented worker.
* Requires a seven percent withholding of all compensation paid to an undocumented worker.
* Creates a state felony for harboring or transporting illegal aliens.
* Establishes increased penalties for ID theft connected to illegal aliens.
* Mandates operators of any jail to verify lawful presence of anyone with a pending felony or DUI.
* Allows for a cause of action by those terminated in favor of hiring an undocumented worker.
* Prohibits anyone not lawfully in the United States from buying, selling, possessing, transporting, etc. all firearms.
* Adds a list of factors a court must consider when determining bail, including immigration status.
* Prevents illegal immigrants from attending public institutions of higher learning.
* Prohibits sanctuary and local preemptive ordinances.
