The Onslaught of State Immigration Laws

In “States Line Up To Increase Employer Responsibility” for Immigration Daily (here), Diane Adams writes about how, fllowing landmark immigration legislation affecting employers in Colorado and Georgia, a host of other states have launched their own attempts at immigration control. The bills run the gamut from initiatives that are little more than an amen chorus for existing federal law, to those that attempt to mandate worker verification programs and impose stiff penalties against employers that hire illegal workers. Some more notable reform attempts are those in Utah, Arizona, Missouri and South Carolina.
