You're totally right. The gov did the right thing signing the bill - we are grateful too.
As for Doug Wright on KSL who argues illegals should be able to cross the southern border because they are poor. Hey Doug, compared to the people in Darfur, Mexicans are rich. So, why don't we let in the millions from Darfur, and then the other 100s of millions of Africans who are poorer than our Mexican neighbors?
Doug, your logic doesn't hold.

And all the whiners about costs don't seem to whine about the benefits: all the money pumped into the economy by all those workers, and all the taxes they pay--whether it's payroll taxes or sales taxes or property taxes. Take all that out of the economy and enjoy seeing the state's economy go into the tank. Glad I don't live there anymore.
They have invaded this country and need to be dealt with!!! End of study...
The truth is that these "illegal" aliens are contributing more to society than the white trash who are saying we need to round them up and truck them back across the border. They contribute to social security with no hope of getting benefits, their kids do better in school, and they aren't looking for a handout to support their drug habit. Popeye: as a society, we are getting more from them than they get from us.
As for Darfur (Re: Popeye) it is a situation of proximity. Check your geography and it should be clear.
"The NCSL brief says there's a question as to whether federal law gives states authority in the workplace, which is a question courts are going to have to sort out." So state authority in the workplace is in question? I don't think so. Have you heard of child labor laws? These are state laws. By the way the child labor opponents of the last century had to fight the cheap labor employers that now support illegal immigration as replacement labor.
