Suit filed to block employer sanctions

The Arizona Daily Sun

PHOENIX -- Two business groups filed suit Friday to block a new employer sanctions law from taking effect.

The lawsuit contends that the measure, approved by the Legislature and signed by Gov. Janet Napolitano, illegally intrudes on issues of immigration which are exclusively the purview of the federal government.

In legal papers filed in U.S. District Court here, attorney David Selden also said the legislation runs afoul of the state constitution. That's because it requires county prosecutors to investigate every complaint made that a company is knowingly hiring undocumented workers, something Selden said lawmakers cannot mandate.
