Immigration is the ONLY thing these guys should be worried about. The one thing that is destroying this state's rights are the illegals filling up our schools and hospitals and they are worried about gun rights?
We probably have the highest percentage of concealed weapons permits in the country. We don't need to worry about guns anymore.
Stop grandstanding and hiding behind the Patrick Henry name.
Just get illegal immigration laws enforced. That is what will get us to vote to keep you in office.
Finally the legislature put no enforcement mechanism in SB-81. The state needs to with hold funds from taxpayer entities in the state that fail to enforce the requirement in SB-81 that contractors that receive taxpayer funds verify that their employees are legal. It would be a great step forward, but not likely. This would also bring on a federal court fight. Better yet require all businesses to verify their employees. This is already legal in Arizona and so anywhere in the 9th Circuit Court. Utah is still waiting a decision of the 10th Circuit Court concerning the Oklahoma 1804 Bill passed last year. Requiring employers to verify employees has also been approved in a Missouri case in the 8th Circuit Court.
States need to recognize that the power is in their hands and in the hands of the people. THAT'S what the whole argument is about... who ultimately has the power... the people or the federal government. It's just not as simple as being about one issue, immigration alone. :)
OK, can you wingnuts tell the class just HOW you're going to prevent Utah pollution from escaping over the state line? We're getting polluted air from China right now!
I swear, wingnuts: you've all eaten too much mercury-laced fish.
We all are bent out of shape that the US Supreme court doesn't back the 10th amendment and the US is ignoring it - one of the bill of rights.
There is a reason we have the 17th amendment and it passed all the votes along time ago.
