Time For Nevada To Follow Arizona Instead Of California

From Yahoo News: The Supreme Court on Thursday upheld an Arizona law that penalizes businesses for hiring workers in the country illegally, buoying the hopes of supporters of state crackdowns on illegal immigration.
They predicted the ruling would lead to many other states passing laws that require employers to use the federal E-Verify system to check that workers aren't illegal immigrants. And some said the ruling bodes well for the prospects of a much broader and more controversial immigration law in Arizona, known as SB1070, to be found constitutional....
Arizona Senate President Russell Pearce, a Republican who was a prime sponsor of the legislation that became the 2007 employer sanctions law, said his reaction to the ruling was "jubilation."
"This is not only good for Arizona, it's good for America," Pearce told The Associated Press. "Finally, American workers are treated the way they ought to be. We're going to put the profits-before-patriotism crowd in the back seat."
Pearce said the ruling bodes well for an eventual Supreme Court decision on SB1070.
"I'm very confident we'll win a 5-4 or possibly a 6-3 decision," he said. "States have never been pre-empted from enforcing federal law."
Both laws were written with the assistance of Kris Kobach, Kansas' secretary of state and a former law professor. He said they were constructed to only use federal immigration law definitions, and the ruling upholding the first could mean success for the second.
"That language will vastly assist the state in defending SB1070,' Kobach said.

Nevada ought to copy Arizona's law, mandate E-Verify for all employers and also all those receiving public assistance. I realize this may cost businesses some money, but in the end, it will save money for the employers and taxpayers.
The Nevada legislators have acted like California legislators lately, in passing liberal laws, especially the transgendered laws regarding employment.
Now, we need to copy Arizona's law regarding mandating E-Verify for all new employees. It's a no brainer. This is one reason why the rats fled the ship, in this case, Arizona and many of the rats jumped ship and came to Nevada.
It's time for Nevada pass mandatory E-Verify for all employers and those seeking public assistance. If this is enacted in Nevada, we will probably lose our 4th House of Representative seat, but it will be worth it.
