Referendum H was a 2006Coloradoreferendum to bar businesses from claiming astate income tax business deduction for wages paid to workers who were known at the time of hiring to beundocumented immigrants. It passed and it affected employees hired on and after January 1, 2008.[1]
Arguments for:It targets the employment of unauthorized aliens, which is the root cause ofillegal 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 thefederal government.
