Colorado Referendum H (2006)

Colorado Referendum H (2006)

Referendum H was a 2006 Colorado referendum to bar businesses from claiming a state income tax business deduction for wages paid to workers who were known at the time of hiring to be undocumented immigrants. It effected employees hired on and after Jan. 1, 2008.

Arguments

Arguments for: It targets the employment of unauthorized aliens, which is the root cause of illegal immigration. It reduces the financial advantage a business gains from paying lower wages to people illegally in the country.

Arguments against: It will have little or no effect on illegal immigration because it increases taxes only if a business voluntarily discloses its paid wages to unauthorized aliens. Illegal immigration is a national issue and the responsibility of the federal government.

Who's for it? --Rep. Debbie Benefield, D-Jefferson County

Who's against it? --Douglas Bruce
