Arizona Big brother jumps on the Immigration bandwagon!

Arizona often touted as the IIEC[illegal immigration employment capital] of the United states may well soon lost that title altogether to Florida. With the recent law and the corresponding lawsuit filed against it, it has brought the issue of the Illegal immigration back into focus.

Of course, the question as to whether it is legal to hire an Illegal immigrant knowing that he/she is one, is currently illegal in Arizona the ex IIEC of the United states. But the recent suit against that very law that declares this to be illegal, seems to be far from over. The judge did not throw out the case because he considered it to be frivolous, but rather that it was filed against the wrong people and since it is a state law, it should be the state authorities in the dock and not the federal authorities, well as far as I could make out, that seems to be the reason.

All indications are that this law is already running into some problems and they are just bound to get a whole lot worse in the next couple of weeks. The question of whether it is right to hire illegal immigrants is one that has been bought in sharp focus by all this. There are those who will say that this law is the right one and that once the Illegal immigrants see that Arizona no longer has jobs for them, they will stop coming into Arizona. Then again, there are those who will argue that since the immigrants are already here, this law will deprive them of livelihood and so it is against human decency to do so. The employers will be on the side of the illegal immigrants since they will be losing a very valuable workforce. All in all, it is one dilemma that the state authorities would have to address very soon in a court of law!
