Arizona employer sanctions law headed back to court

Tucson, Arizona | Published: 06.07.2008
Backers of an Arizona law that punishes employers for hiring undocumented workers say it’s successfully making businesses more vigilant about who they put on the payroll.
But some Tucson business operators say they are afraid that, as undocumented workers who were on the job before the law took effect on Jan. 1 move on, the labor pool will dry up. Some employers say it has already started.
Next week the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will hear arguments by business groups and Hispanic activists seeking to strike down the law, contending only the federal government can regulate whether employers hire people not in this country legally.
More to the point, they contend only the federal government can mete out punishment. A District Court judge previously upheld the law.


We have heard these lies before

Wonder how long it will take for these laws to wind up in front of the Supreme Court? I hope not too long.

This is a frigging joke, the country and courts has gone mad...these are already laws put forth by the federal Government in the "Immgration nationality Act" just why are they ignoreing these facts......Let the empoyer figure it out then, it is against the law for them to hire illegals, just tell them you get caught with illegals you will be fined and jailed as the law states...

What BS

I hope this court doesn't subvert the will of the people, like we have seen recently in Oklahoma and Hazleton, Pennsylvania.
