Arizona town to punish employers who hire illegal immigrants

“Gloria Anaya doesnt know if the four Mexican men who work in her Payson, Ariz. restaurant are illegal immigrants.

But under a new ordinance the town council passed last week, Anaya will have to sign an affidavit swearing they aren’t.

The ordinance is one of more than a half dozen measures nationwide that confront the illegal immigration issue, long considered the sole responsibility of the federal government. Among the municipalities that have approved such measures are Hazleton, Pa., Escondido, Calif. and Lake Havasu City, Ariz.”
