Voted on Senate floor in favor of amendment to deter employers from hiring of illegal aliens in 2007
Sen. ZZlastnameZZ voted in favor of the Sessions Amendment to H.R. 2, the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007. The Sessions Amendment (S.

This would serve as a disincentive to hire illegal aliens and a step toward removing the job-magnet for illegal immigration. The Sessions Amendment passed by a vote of 94-0.
