Arizona takes Aim at Illegal Immigration Again

 

A new Arizona immigration bill has gotten a lot of buzz because they are proposing requiring schools to report illegal immigrant and other measures aiming at cutting back/off benefits for illegal immigrants. However, the real story of the bill is the jobs part. This sweeping immigration bill requires employers to use the federal E-Verify system or have their business license suspended. Using a false identity to get a job will result in six months in jail. Most people claim illegal immigrants come here for the jobs. Cut off the jobs and make it difficult for them to get benefits and the will self deport.The bill is working it's way through the Arizona legislator and is not law yet.

“If you’re in the country illegally, you don’t have a right to public benefits, period,” he said.
