ARIZONA CONGRESSWOMAN PROPOSES FEDERALIZING EMPLOYER SANCTIONS LAWS

Arizona Democratic Representative Gabrielle Giffords has proposed a bill that would prevent states and municipalities from creating their own employer sanctions statutes and would intend focus on a new system where employers would use existing online systems (other than E-Verify) to document employer compliance with US immigration laws. Giffords believes immigration is a federal issue and that only the federal government has the resources to properly address the subject.
