Restaurant group joins action against employer sanctions law

The Phoenix Business Journal

An Arizona food industry group has joined a business lawsuit asking the federal courts to throw out a new state law that punishes companies caught hiring illegal immigrants.

The Arizona Restaurant & Hospitality Association said Thursday it was joining the Arizona Contractors Association and Arizona Employers for Immigration Reform in their lawsuit against the employer sanctions law.

The state approved the employer sanctions law earlier this month. It suspends or revokes the licenses of businesses caught knowingly and intentionally hiring illegal immigrants. The sanctions push has strong support from conservatives in the Legislature and does well in public opinion polls.
