Guest agricultural workers in Utah may be given a safety net from tougher state immigration laws that allow law enforcement officers to ask for prove of legal status by an accompanying law that allows illegal aliens to be guest workers.

Immigration Reform Remains a Priority

President Obama in his State of the Union Address, reiterated the commitment of the current administration to Immigration reform. In particular the president expressed a desire for democrats and republicans to work together to achieve border control, prosecute employers who exploit undocumented workers, make illegal aliens accountable for their actions and to “Strengthen our economic competitiveness by creating a legal immigration system that meets our diverse needs.”

DREAM Act gets to the Senate

The DREAM Act passed in the House of Representatives yesterday and is going to the vote in the Senate today where passage may be more problematic. Passage would aid beleaguered undocumented aliens who are college students or who want to give military service but opponents see the act as a form of undeserved amnesty for illegal aliens. So after the vote, the DREAM Act will either be chucked out or become a reality.
