Utah governor signs immigration law like Arizona
Utah's governor on Tuesday signed a package of immigration laws including one that would allow a police crackdown on illegal immigrants similar to Arizona's attempt last year.Reuters >>> Utah governor signs immigration law like Arizona (Wed Mar 16, 2011 12:52am EDT)The United States is struggling with 12 million illegal immigrants, many of them from Latin America, and growing anger among voters about the jobs they take.
U.S. immigration enforcement has shifted over the years, with the Obama administration choosing to crack down on employers rather than illegal workers themselves.

Alabama is considering similar, if not identical, legislation... I hope to report back soon with the good news of its passage. ~H~Originally Posted by Smedley Butler
Re: Utah governor signs immigration law like Arizona
Finally, we have some state governments willing to stand up against the illegal immigrants and say "no more." I only wish other states would do the same.
Live a good life. If there are gods and they are just, then they will not care how devout you have been, but will welcome you based on the virtues you have lived by. If there are gods but unjust, then you should not want to worship them. If there are no gods, then you will be gone, but will have lived a noble life that will live on in the memories of your loved ones. I am not afraid. - M. Aurelius

I wonder if Obama will file a lawsuit against every one of these states that tries to protect themselves from the crippling costs of swarms of illegal aliens in public schools and demanding health care at all the emergency rooms.
Obama should have been impeached after his lawsuit against Arizona.
Re: Utah governor signs immigration law like Arizona
It seems that there is something amiss.
3-15-2011
Arturo Morales-Llan, a GOP delegate and coalition founder, said in a statement that the Herbert's signature of HB116 "is the worst insult the legal residents of Utah have ever received by their sitting governor! HB116 is typical Washington-style politics and we condemn its practice by our elected officials. This new law puts a stamp of approval on illegal immigration and those who come into this country illegally. This fatally flawed law confirms that Utah is a sanctuary state."

Re: Utah governor signs immigration law like Arizona
Yes, there are conflicting laws and messages. Isn't this always the case and typical of the times? Where they pander to all peoples and try to be liked by everyone? It does not work. It's one-size-fits-all legalese that fits no one! Choices have to be made, one way or the other now that food prices are the highest in 36 years, there will be trouble among classes of people.
Re: Utah governor signs immigration law like Arizona
It's true there's a "guest worker" provision in the Utah bill. Hopefully that will be taken out in the future. The Oklahoma bill and other bills that are in the works in other states don't have a "guest worker" loophole. ALIPAC is extremely critical of this.
It's not clear how many guest workers will be accepted or rejected by Utah. Presumably a flood of Mexicans from Arizona would be rejected.
Obviously, the Tea Party needs to get busy in Utah and weed out the compromisers and weak-willed individuals in the GOP, who came up with this guest-worker idea.
Re: Utah governor signs immigration law like Arizona
Good call. Voting records are clear and transgressors should be pressed on this issue and eliminated. We do not need any more appeasers in authority positions.
Alabama Lawmakers to consider immigration bill
WALA >>> Lawmakers to consider immigration bill (Tuesday, 15 Mar 2011)A bill that could further clamp down on illegal immigrants is making its way through the Alabama legislature. It's an Arizona-style immigration law that would make it harder for illegals to get a job, apply for benefits, or vote. But some opponents of the bill say this could encourage racial profiling.
Theodore, Alabama [just west of Mobile] is a long way from the Mexican border, but in 2006 that border agents stood watch, looking for illegal immigrants.
Agents let a FOX10 News crew ride along with them.
Sure enough, border agents detained some illegal immigrants along I-10 who were looking for work in the area.
Last April, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer approved one of the toughest illegal immigration laws in the country. It empowered local law enforcement to help detain and deport illegals.
Other states are considering similar measures and back in November, the Republican Party made some big gains in state legislatures across America. The issue has been pushed back into the limelight and Alabama is considering jumping on the bandwagon.
The bill would make it harder for illegals to get jobs and apply for benefits. It would even make it a felony for illegals to vote.
The bill would allow local police to administer the law.
"It'd be much better for the federal government to take care of it, but since they're not, the state needs to take it up," one man said.
But some say the tougher laws are unfair.
"They're working so let them work. They got a family to take care of too," said one woman.
Last week, 200 protesters rallied outside the Alabama State House. One man carried a sign in Spanish that read: 'We are workers, not criminals.' Another person's sign said 'We are all immigrants.'
Advocates say this law can unfairly target the Hispanic community. But the language of the bill gives explicit instructions as to how law enforcement can crack down on illegals.
Some have no problem with immigrants in this country, just as long as they've earned their keep.
"I don't mind people being here from other countries that are on the same level as we are," says Georgia resident Larry Helms.
Helms owns a lawn care business and is competing against companies that hire illegals.
"A lot of times they can hire illegals and pay them a whole lot less than we can afford to pay our workers 'cuz we have workers' comp and comprehensive insurance and all the other required licenses," said Helms.
Illegal immigrants are a real issue in south Alabama, and the legislature is debating what it can do.
The bill will be on the House agenda when lawmakers return from spring break on March 22.
