By immigrationprof

From NILC:

The Governor of Utah is considering signing Arizona copycat legislation, along with other immigration measures. Considered together, these bills would constitute the most aggressive state-based regulation of immigration to date and a direct challenge to the longstanding constitutional principle that the regulation of immigration is an exclusively federal power.

The National Immigration Law Center has done a quick analysis of HB 497 and HB 116, two bills in the immigration package currently awaiting the governor’s signature. You can read our assessment here.
