Lots of new "immigrants" for Utah, it appears.

the kind that led to mass protests, boycotts and lawsuits in Phoenix

It's time for the US citizen to start doing that

In ancient Asia, today’s businessmen are classified as merchants of their time. After 2300+ years of experience with them, Asian society consider them above farmer (because merchants can read) but below craftsman (because they do not do honest work (produce products) but manipulate and scheme). In Europe we have buyer beware. In Asia the dictum is “the merchant class is vital to a kingdom because they produce more money as a group then any group, but wise king must keep an eye on them, because merchants are capable of greed and will cheat the people and bribe the officials, if the merchants are caught they must be punished but in a way not to discourage the rest of them to take risks and make money”. In other words business people are a necessary economic asset but fraught with potential ability to harm the country. Look at what happen in banking and now in illegal immigration where profit comes before nation.

I’m extremely cynical. Much like I am with the RCC factions who endorse and engage in supporting illegal aliens.

I’ll just say that I don’t know what their true motives or intentions are outside of what they said in public about “keeping families together”, which can clearly be done by deporting them all.

What I find extremely troublesome is that a religion which has repeatedly stated they are beholden to the laws of the land, has successfully lobbied the elected representatives of a state to pass legislation that is clearly designed to undermine the laws of the land.

Laws that mormons claim to be subject to according to their Articles of Faith (creed).

Now, with regards to illegals, they can say they’re following the “laws” of Utah, not the USA when challenged on their support for illegals.

Okay then, all you illegals in AZ head on over to Utah where the climate is more favorable!

They already are. We're going to "family and immigrant friendly" ourselves right out of our state.

Every state should direct the illegal aliens to Utah and California

Not to be cynical, but maybe the Mormon leae\dership senses a growth opportunity with contiinued unfettered illegal immigration.

Who do you think is cleaning all those big church office buildings? They call them "volunteers" and say they "have a calling" but they pay them a pittance. Oh, and for the record, churches are exempt from any legislation Utah passes that goes after businesses that hire illegals.

Sure patriotic businessmen: sacrificing long term problems for the short term profits

Wait until your businesses can’t afford the welfare state for these people. Then where you running to?

Nice....be proud to be Americans, huh?

“This legislation was passed because of the direct involvement and support of the mormon church.”

The Mormon check to cover the financial burden illegal Messicans put on Utah will arrive momentarily.

You ARE holding your breath awaiting it, aren’t you?

I’m turning blue...

Seriously though, this will cost the church less in church welfare expenses because now the taxpayers of Utah get to pick up the tab for the illegals that come to the state.

Now I Understand!

As always, regardless of the suspect - “follow the cash flow”.
