Simpson bill would hit employers with new alien hire penalties
The Senate immigration bill would impose a $1000 civil penalty per illegal hire, rising to $2000 after a first offense, and make pattern violations a crime with six months jail and $1000 fine.

Fetus David Harris argues a court rule should compensate parents for loss of a child regardless of the unborn’s legal status. The ruling defines a minor as someone not yet an adult, including unborn persons, while three justices disagree that an unborn child is not a person. Justice Larson calls the stance indefensible.
