Arizona law is best on immigration...Legal Arizona Workers Act

Arizona law is best on immigration...Legal Arizona Workers Act...establishes a state’s right to enforce laws against employers of illegal aliens...The plaintiff against AZ was the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, which has opposed every attempt at immigration enforcement at the state and national level for decades. The chamber lobbied against the act while it was in the legislature. Then they teamed up with the ACLU to sue us. Now, the chamber is supporting an ostensibly anti-illegal immigration bill, called the Legal Workforce Act in Washington,(H.R.2164) , which Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Texas), the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, introduced..the bill was crafted with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other cheap labor lobbyists, who made it difficult to enforce. It exempts many illegal agricultural workers; has a two year phase-in period for most employers, and makes it difficult to check existing employees’ legal status... Gutting local enforcement in exchange for watered down federal enforcement placed in the hands of the Obama administration can only be described as “the bad.”
