Employer-sanctions law: Murky or easy to enforce?

The Arizona Daily Star

Arizona's stiff new employer- sanction law delivered a clear message to companies — hire legal workers or else.
Backing that threat with action, though, will be an arduous task.

The law, which would revoke state licenses for companies that are found to have "knowingly" or "intentionally" hired illegal workers, faces a myriad of hurdles. A lawsuit has already been filed challenging its constitutionality. If it survives that, a host of other logistical issues await.

"It's going to be difficult to figure out exactly what we need to do, and how we need to do this," said Pima County Attorney Barbara LaWall. "What is a complaint? What is the burden of proof you need to prove it in court? I'm still not quite sure exactly what an investigation needs to consist of."
