Utah’s migrant worker proposal vs. Obama’s Pride. Guess who wins.

Utah representative Lopes, with others, is proposing a Utah law allowing worker cards for illegals who can show no criminal record, etc. that would let them work legally in Utah with taxes withheld, etc. Trouble is, that law cannot take effect without setting aside the Federal law imposing penalties on employers who hire these people.

So a whole lot of sweat and effort is being invested into a futile project. The Arizona law directing enforcement by police does not require any adjustment to Federal law, but yet Mr. Obama’s off-ths-hip criticism of it is now being protected in hare-brained litigation all the way to the Supreme Court to have it declared unconstitutional as interfering with Federal pre-emption of laws re immigration.

If Obama’s Atty General will go to such inane lengths to sustain his criticism of the Arizona law, then the chances of a getting special exception for the proposed Utah are like those of snow ball in you-know-where.
