Law on illegal immigration touted in Utah – (like Oklahoma’s)
Tagged: prison, UtahPosted on: October 3rd, 2007“A Washington County lawmaker wants Utah to pass a law modeled after one of the nation’s toughest state laws aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration.
Sen. Bill Hickman, R-St. George, has opened a bill file called “Illegal Immigration” and plans to introduce the measure during the 2008 legislative session.
He said the bill, still being drafted, will be patterned after a law passed in Oklahoma earlier this year. The Oklahoma law includes methods to keep undocumented immigrants from obtaining jobs or public benefits. It also creates a felony for harboring or transporting an undocumented immigrant, punishable by at least one year in prison or a minimum $1,000 fine.”
