Hundreds of members in 44 states
The lead editorial in the October 9 issue of the Washington Examiner reported on the efforts of David Marlett, a Dallas-based lawyer who is concerned about illegal immigration. Last June, according to the Examiner, Marlett began ProAmerica Challenge, an organization that lists U.S. businesses that have taken a vow not to hire illegal immigrants.
Marlett told the paper that his desire is to “promote the good guys. The ones who say ‘I could break the law, but I’m not going to do it’” and to “convince people that honest businesses that support their local communities, instead of undermine them, will prosper.”
Membership in the organization is growing rapidly — it already has hundreds of members in 44 states and the District of Columbia.
According to the organization’s website, members must “agree and consent” to the following ProAmerica Oath: 1. We do not knowingly hire illegal or undocumented workers.
