County group urges crackdown on illegal immigrants

Carolyn Hileman* | January 23, 2007

SPRINGBORO — An incident last summer, in which a Miami Valley man allegedly was killed by a Mexican man or men without Social Security numbers, American citizenship or any legal basis for U.S. employment, is sparking a campaign to change laws that allow illegal immigrants to live and work in America. Tonight, Citizens for Legal Communities will press Mason City Council to pass local laws fining or criminally charging employers or landlords of illegal immigrants. Next month, the group will bring its campaign to a Springboro City Council meeting. Bill Barnhill helped found the Warren County-based group after his son Kevin was killed last August. At least one of Kevin Barnhill’s accused killers lived in a Mason apartment and worked for a Fairfield roofer.
