Supreme Court to hear arguments on Arizona law regarding hiring of illegal immigrants



In a show of support for firmer immigration laws, 13 states have joined together to request that the U.S. Supreme Court uphold an Arizona law which penalizes businesses for knowingly hiring illegal immigrants.

The law permits a business' license to be revoked if they have been found to employ undocumented immigrants - a law similar to regulations in Missouri, Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.

Many business and civil rights groups have opposed the law on the grounds that it infringes on immigration rights and procedures.

"Those state laws complement, rather than replace, federal enforcement (of immigration laws)," wrote Missouri Attorney General Chris Koster in a document filed with the Supreme Court. "Indeed, absent this complementary approach between federal and state law, a significant deterrent to employing 'unauthorized aliens' would be missing."

The Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments next month. Meanwhile, businesses await litigation that may deter or encourage companies and entrepreneurs to launch an LLC, corporation or other entity in Arizona.
