Az faces hurdles enforcing employer sanction law

The Tucson Citizen

Enacting a strict employer-sanctions law is one thing, but enforcing it may be quite another.

Arizona now has the toughest law in the land for cracking down on employers who hire illegal immigrants. Those employers can lose their businesses if investigators can prove they knowingly make illegal hires more than once.
Proving the case against a business, however, is going to require unprecedented cooperation among federal, state and local officials.

At the heart of the law is a federal database called Basic Pilot, which is managed by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services agency. The program compares Social Security numbers and personal IDs and flags discrepancies.
