    Brking News and it is Good/Appeals court won't block AZ Law

    Published: 12.21.2007

    BULLETIN: Appeals court won't block employer-sanctions law
    By Howard Fischer
    CAPITOL MEDIA SERVICES
    The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refused late Friday to issue a stay preventing Arizona's new employer-sanctions law from going into effect Jan. 1. The move came just hours after a federal judge in Phoenix rejected a request by business groups and others to block the state from enforcing its new employer sanctions law.
    Judge Neil Wake said any delay in implementing the law which allows suspension or revocation of state licenses of companies that knowingly hire undocumented workers would harm the state and, in particular, legal Arizona residents.
    "Those who suffer the most from unauthorized alien labor are those whom federal and Arizona law most explicitly protect,'' Wake said.
    "They are the competing lawful workers, many unskilled, low-wage, sometimes near or under the margin of poverty, who strain in individual competition and in a wage economy depressed by the great and expanding number of people who will work for less,'' the judge continued.
    "If the act is suspended, whether for a month or for years, the human cost for the least among us, measured by each person's continued deprivation, multiplied by their number, will be a great quantum.''
    Conversely, Wake said the challengers to the law have not proven they will suffer any sort of hardship if the law takes effect as scheduled Jan. 1.
    He pointed out the county attorneys who would investigate complaints against employers all said in court they would not file charges against any violators before Feb. 1. Wake said that gives him time to consider the legal arguments of the groups who contend the statute is unconstitutional.
    Nor was Wake convinced companies will suffer from the other requirement of the law that they check the legal status of new employees through the federal government's E-Verify system. He said their attorneys offered only "sweeping generalities'' of harm, mostly related to the cost of using the program.
    He pointed out that none of the groups that actually sued claim they don't have a computer or Internet access.
    "The only cost is employee time in learning the program ... and assisting new employees who wish to communicate with the federal government to resolve out-of-date government records,'' Wake wrote in his 29-page order. "That would be a few hundred to a few thousand dollars a year for the large majority of employers.''
    Wake acknowledged there is a debate in this country about whether the benefits of having undocumented workers in this country, including lower labor expenses for employers, outweigh the costs.
    But he said that is a decision not for him but instead for elected officials. And he said both Congress and now the Arizona Legislature have decided that the detrimental effects of illegal immigration "prevail over all who benefit from unauthorized alien labor.''

    Let's hope that more judges and courts will rule appropriately and follow the law.

    Judge Wake upholds the American Constitution!

    He should head the Department of Justice.

    This is great news! As I've said before, my husband is a cook for a restaurant and he was looking for a 2nd job (or even one better paying one) and couldn't find one. The average number of help wanted ads has been around 5. 5. I thought the restaurant industry was one of the fields that just couldn't find enough people to work? Where are the help wanted ads? Do any of those pay above minimum wage? Since the illegals found out only new hires would be checked they grabbed up any available job FAST. Now, if one employer gets rid of them they have back up jobs. Hopefully there will be more available jobs in February. They do hurt American workers. Now if only we could get Dept of Economic Security to REALLY check applicant's SSNs and question why some people who have documents saying they were born in the USA don't speak English and why they have such thick foreign accents or are using SSNs that are older than the applicants and/or the children they also claim were born here...... (I have a friend who works at the one on Ft Lowell and he said they are told not to question citizenship, if they see the docs, good enough)

    Enact this law nationally by supporting the SAVE Act. It forces all employers to verify all social security numbers.

    Imagine what this whole situation would have been if Judge Mungia, the sister of the head of National La Raza had kept this case and never had turned it back over to Judge Wake...
