Pennsylvania Ruling Could Shape Arizona Immigration's Fate

KGUN9 reported that: A court ruling in Pennsylvania may have a major impact on how Arizona does business. A 3rd Circuit Court judge struck down their employer sanctions law, a law similar to Arizona's controversial Legal Workers Act. In Arizona, businesses must verify employees through a data-base, E-Verify. If workers are found to be illegal immigrants, that means big punishments. Multiple violations mean 3 years without a business license, which usually means out-of-business. The state law enforcing these regulations has been in place for two years, despite previous challenges. The Pennsylvania ruling struck down their state's immigration crack-down, and Attorney John Messing says it will most likely be ammunition for a Supreme Court Review happening here. "The attorneys for the government will have to bring up what happened in the 3rd circuit because it's such a strong opinion in their favor," he said.
