As protests in Arizona over an anti-immigration law heat up, one conservative Utah lawmaker wants to bring the law to this state, and says he has the support to do it.
Rep. Stephen Sandstrom, R-Orem, is drafting a bill that would require immigrants to carry proof of status and require law enforcement officers to question anyone they believe is in the country without documentation. The bill also would target employers who hire or transport undocumented immigrants as a preventive measure against the swell of undocumented immigrants he predicts would come to Utah from Arizona once the law there takes effect.

"Utah is seen as state that welcomes illegal immigrants. We almost encourage it with driving privilege cards and in-state tuition for illegals," Sandstrom said. "With Arizona making the first step in this direction, Utah needs to pass a similar law or we will see a huge influx of illegals. The real issue is just establishing a rule of law in our state."

This will get interesting. The AZ law will open up other states to a greater number of illegal aliens because AZ is ‘unfriendly.’
They’re going to have to do something.

Wonderful. I hope all states do that but I don't have much hope for New York, California or Massachusetts.

Looks like this is gonna spread.Kinda like the way security signs spread in a neighborhood.If the people next door suddenly display a “This Home Protected By XYZ Security Corp” then you're gonna want one too...for obvious reasons.

Yes! Rubbing hands gleefully watching all the states scramble to prevent being overrun with illegals....

Ohio is considering the same thing ... mayhap we have a legal snowball building? I expect my state to pass a "sanctuary for illegals" law because our legislature is 90% RAT (I kid you not) and our Governor...soon to be reelected with 35% of the vote...is a RAT disciple (and good buddy) of Hussein himself.

I hope Utah does the same thing. They can just copy Arizona’s law.
To: sheikdetailfeather
That’s what I’m talking about!

So so far I have now seen consideration in Utah, Ohio and Missouri. That was quick.
To: sheikdetailfeather
New Mexico may become exactly that.

Will trade Utah for Rep Sandstrom....Florida will send Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush, and a “politican to be named later” for Sandstrom.
