ARIZONA IMMIGRATION LAW PUTS RESTAURANTEURS AT RISK

Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano enacted a law Monday (July 9) that enacts what the NRN calls harsh penalties on restaurateurs and other employers who fail to verify the legal status of their workers.

Under the new rules, employers face the risk of losing their business licenses if they knowingly hire illegal immigrants. A second offense could result in permanent revocation of a business license, effectively preventing that employer from operating in the state.
