TUCSON — Obama administration officials are sharpening their crackdown on the hiring of illegal immigrants by focusing increasingly tough criminal charges on employers while moving away from criminal arrests of the workers themselves.
After months of criticism from Republicans who said President Obama was relaxing immigration enforcement in workplaces, the scope of the administration’s strategy has become clear as long-running investigations of employers have culminated in indictments, convictions, exponentially increased fines and jail sentences.

Sandstrom: New immigration law should be considered in special session
SALT LAKE CITY — A state lawmaker said Saturday that Utah needs to quickly pass its own version of an Arizona law intended to stop the hiring of illegal immigrants, now that it's been upheld by the U.S. Supreme Court.
"It's imperative now that Utah act," said Rep. Stephen Sandstrom, R-Orem, warning that more undocumented workers will come to the state as a result of the court's decision to uphold the 2007 Arizona law penalizing employers who hire them.

Suprema Corte avala Ley Arizona
WASHINGTON, D.C.— Una decisión de la Suprema Corte dio impulso ayer a las facultades de los estados para legislar en asuntos relacionados con inmigración. Es uno de los principales argumentos usados para defender la controversial legislación SB1070, ahora a las puertas del máximo tribunal.
Por un fallo de 5 contra 3, la Suprema Corte reafirmó el caso Cámara de Comercio versus Whiting, que permite la vigencia de la Ley de Trabajadores Legales de Arizona (LAWA). Esta autoriza el uso obligatorio de E-Verify y penaliza a negocios que contraten inmigrantes indocumentados.

Corte Suprema falló a favor de ley que castiga contrata ilegal en Arizona
El máximo tribunal de Justicia de Estados Unidos falló -por cinco votos a favor y tres en contra- a favor de una ley promulgada en 2008 que faculta al estado de Arizona sancionar a empresas que, a sabiendas, contraten a inmigrantes indocumentados.
La decisión judicial reavivó el debate migratorio y podría promover que otros estados o ciudades adopten sus propias medidas migratorias, entre ellos el propio Arizona con la promulgación de la polémica SB 1070, y recientes medidas similares adoptadas en Georgia, Indiana y Texas.

U.S. Supreme Court ruling on immigration law could have impact on Utah
SALT LAKE CITY — A U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding an Arizona law that penalizes business for hiring illegal immigrants could put some weight behind a similar measure in Utah.
By a 5-3 vote, the court said Thursday that federal immigration law gives states the authority to impose sanctions on employers who hire undocumented workers. In so doing, it rejected arguments that states have no role in immigration matters.
