Arizona getting ready for employer sanctions law
Arizona kicks ass. You guys are to be applauded for a number of reasons. But this new law has business screaming to the heavens and you ain't heard nothing yet. Trust me. By the time business and the pro-illegal bunch really start to holler you'd think the whole state is going to collapse.
As the days count down to the start of Arizona’s employer sanctions law, East Valley cities are struggling to get ready for their duties despite a litany of questions and a pending lawsuit.
Gilbert and Mesa already have registered with the national online database to check immigration status of employees, and Scottsdale is in the process of determining how to handle any resulting suspensions of city business licenses.
The law going into effect Jan. 1 states that no employers “shall knowingly employ unauthorized aliens.”
If a county attorney finds that an employer has violated the law, the court will order the appropriate agencies — including cities — to suspend all licenses until the employer has signed a sworn affidavit.
