Runestad announces rally in Lansing against new immigration policy

Oakland County Commissioner Jim Runestad will march on Lansing on Tuesday, Sep. 13, beginning at noon. He will hold a rally on the east steps of the capital in Lansing. This rally is in opposition to the new immigration policy of President Obama that circumvents the United States Congress's authority on the issue of amnesty for illegal immigrants and extend amnesty to thousands of illegal immigrants. "Time and time again Congress has rejected amnesty for illegal immigrants and now the president is offering illegal aliens the right to say and work in the United States," stated Runestad. Runestad has been a staunch proponent for tougher immigration laws working closely with State Representative David Agema's efforts to require use of the federal E-verify program to stop the hiring of illegal workers by businesses that have government business contracts with the state and various levels of government. He successfully implemented Oakland County's E-verification Policy with the support of his colleagues that requires any business that wants to conduct business with Oakland County must use the federal e-verify program. The county's e-verify policy went in effect in the spring of 2011. Published: Fri, Sep 9, 2011
