Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio is ratcheting up investigations of businesses suspected of hiring illegal immigrants, including scouring work papers and employment files.

Officials said those business investigations are producing charges of document fraud and identity theft against illegal immigrants using fake identification, but have not yet led to any employer prosecutions under the 5-month-old Arizona Legal Workers Act.

It is easier to prove an undocumented worker is using falsified work papers than it is to prove his employer hired him knowing that, said Art Pederson, an immigration and employment attorney with the Phoenix law office of Mohr, Hackett, Pederson, Blakley & Randolph PC.

"It's a much straighter route to the conviction," he said.

No wonder the governor felt the need to suddenly yank his funding. It must be scaring her friends in the business community and God only knows, we can't have that, now can we?

This is great!!!!! This man has my support and I have never stepped foot into Arizona.

The governor must be getting a lot of calls from the local big businesses, they will be sorely hurting if they get a visit from Shriff Joe and his deputies!!
