Strict Arizona immigration law gets Supreme Court blessing
Roy Beck of the reform group NumbersUSA sees it as much more than that, calling the ruling "a tremendous victory for unemployed Americans."
"There are about 7 million illegal aliens estimated to be working in non-agricultural jobs. There are many Americans unemployed and lined up to get those jobs," Beck claimed.
Also supporting the ruling is the Latino advocacy group known as the League of United Latin American citizens (LULAC).
Luis Vera, LULAC's general counsel, says the law should expose businesses that utilize underpaid immigrants in unsafe conditions.
About a dozen states have laws similar to Arizona's.
"There are at least a dozen other states that have held back," Rob Beck said, "I think we're going to see those states passing those laws in the next year."
Further, he predicts the business community's concerned for a single uniform system will send it from the Supreme Court across the street to Congress, to push for a standard nationwide eVerify requirement.http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-503544_162-20066585-503544.html
