Arizona businesses face tough new law

The Arizona Daily Star

Employer sanctions is a federal issue that requires a congressional solution. The Congress has failed to act and that has frustrated the public, our state's policymakers and Arizona's employers.

But frustration is no reason to burden Arizona's businesses with a law that provides no new tools to help employers hire legal workers, that will be selectively enforced and that will encourage discrimination. We are disappointed that the governor signed HB 2779, which takes effect in less than six months.

We, as law-abiding employers, support securing the border. Farmers and ranchers located on the Mexican border see the death of men, women and children who attempt to cross, the drug and human cargo runners who tear through our land and the property and environmental damage being done because of an insecure border.
