Ex-Utah lawmaker Cook starts initiative against illegal immigration... Merrill Cook began a year-long campaign to get a petition on the ballot that would require employers to use E-Verify while tacking on tough penalties for those hiring illegal alien workers. The former Utah congressman said he’ll need about 100,000 signatures total and about 37,000 in Salt Lake County alone as he attempts to get the measure on every city and county ballot.. Currently, Utah’s law requires businesses with more than 15 employees to use E-Verify to determine legal status of workers, but the law carries no penalties.
