Thread: UT: Utanhs Launch No-Guest Worker Program Site

This obviously contradicts the fake polls that said utahns favor a guest-worker program...

Opponents of Utah’s new guest-worker law launched a website Wednesday seeking to repeal it.

The website, http://repeal116.com features a petition for people to sign, and the site’s creators say it was set up because they "reject it [HB116] as a national model for immigration reform."

Utahns launch website to repeal guest-worker law

Opponents of Utah’s new guest-worker law launched a website Wednesday seeking to repeal it.

The website, www.repeal116.com features a petition for people to sign, and the site’s creators say it was set up because they "reject it [HB116] as a national model for immigration reform."

Brandon Beckham, a Republican state delegate who worked with the Utah Coalition on Illegal Immigration in developing the site, said Gov. Gary Herbert never should have signed HB116.

Beckham argues the measure is unconstitutional and will make Utah a magnet for more undocumented immigrants.

"The delegates now hope to emphasize the consequences of our elected officials’ actions," Beckham said in a statement, "while also encouraging them to step up and do the right thing — repeal HB116."

Herbert, with LDS Church Presiding Bishop H. David Burton in attendance, signed the guest-worker bill earlier this month along with three other immigration-reform measures, including an enforcement-only bill sponsored by Rep. Stephen Sandstrom, R-Orem.

Sandstrom has been an outspoken critic of HB116 and refused to attend the signing ceremony despite the fact that his own immigration-reform bill, HB497, also was being signed.

Utah has drawn national attention for its guest-worker legislation, sponsored by Rep. Bill Wright, R-Holden. Several lawmakers, including Sen. Curt Bramble, R-Provo, have gone to other states to talk about Utah’s approach.

Bramble, who just returned from Florida to discuss Utah’s new laws, has said he believed the state was charting a new course that diverted from Arizona — which has been led by enforcement-only legislation carried by immigration firebrand Russell Pearce.

The guest-worker bill passed with a trigger date to take effect in two years, giving Herbert and the state time to work with the federal government in winning a waiver to make it operational. Critics say no waiver exists and that Washington won’t allow the state to issue guest-worker permits.

Under HB116, permits could be issued to any of the approximately 110,000 undocumented people living in Utah who are working. The permits would be issued through the Department of Public Safety after workers went through background checks.

The undocumented immigrants then would pay a $2,500 fine — $1,000 if they overstayed a visa. Undocumented immigrants also could bring family members under the umbrella of the permit.

the Video is very well done and has alot of good points
