Other strategies emerging to overturn employer sanction law

The Arizona Daily Sun

PHOENIX -- Some Arizona business owners hope to convince the state's non-Hispanic majority it is in their interest to quash any laws that punish companies that knowingly hire undocumented workers.

Mac Magruder who heads the Wake Up Arizona! coalition, said Tuesday the new statute will have "devastating unintended consequence" on the state's economy. And he said the effects will be broader than just driving out the possible 500,000 people in this state illegally. "When brown people lose their jobs, white people will lose their jobs," he said.

He noted the law, which takes effect Jan. 1, allows a judge to suspend a firm's license to do business for up to 10 days. A second violation within three years results in permanent loss of the right to do business in Arizona.
