Rep. Stephen Sandstrom said his enforcement-only illegal immigration bill is in line with the guiding principles of the Utah Compact — a freshly inked document designed to dial down rhetoric and guide debate in a more civil manner.

But the Orem Republican said he refused to sign the compact because he felt the tone from some of its signers hasn’t been civil — notably when Sutherland Institute President Paul Mero, a key drafter of the document, said Sandstrom’s bill would be “DOAâ€

Press ahead Sandstrom. Americans want all immigration laws enforced and illegal aliens deported families intact with no child left behind. If that's in line with the Utah Compact, then you read in a different language than I do.

The wonderful altruistic geniuses who put this silly document together forgot to consult with the only people whose opinion actually matters, the people of Utah. Unfortunately for them, the latest polls show the majority like the AZ law and want a similar one. We are sick of illegals in this state and what they have done to our communities.
Salt Lake City has become a major distribution hub for black tar heroin thanks to all these "honest hard working people looking for a better life" so we are ready for them all to leave. The Sandstrom bill is going to pass in spite of this smokescreen and the self serving SOB's behind it.
