Arizona passed a law in support of federal law to ensure that employers were using the Governments e-verify system to screen out illegal immigrants. The United States Supreme Court has upheld Arizona’s right to enforce that law and the usual suspects are none too happy.
The socialist progressive rulers of 
Arizona’s sanctuary cities (democrats) and leftists in general, who are usually gung-ho about long distance top-down mandates, are not pleased. Their businesses can no longer skirt the requirement of checking, and Arizona is free to pursue violators at their discretion. This could drive away a major victim class constituency and reliable democrat (cough-cough voters) to seek sanctuary where the law is not enforced. (Or maybe not–see below)*
Remember when the Chamber of Commerce (C of C) was the lefts whipping boy? They were evil capitalists using money from "outside the country" to affect their selfish policy agenda–at the expense of the real working stiffs and middle class families. Most if not all democrats hopped on this bandwagon, international union contributions in tow, to rail against the C of C. So what do those same leftists have to say about that same Chamber of Commerce (presumably with the same funding) leading the charge to prevent the enforcement of e-verify?
The enemy of my enemy is my friend?
I’m sure the left will be more than happy to cozy up to any Satan when it suits their purposes. In fact I know they will. Throughout this entire process we’ve not heard one complaint about the Chamber of Commerce and its involvement in fighting the enforcement of e-verify.
So why doesn’t that surprise me?
*One parting shot: While Arizona employers are required to verify immigration status before hiring anyone, and now SCOTUS has reaffirmed the states right to enforce that requirement, the last time I checked refusing to hire someone in Arizona if the system actually identified them as an illegal alien is employment discrimination and punishable by law. No, I’m not kidding. You break the law if you don’t check, and you break the law if you use that information to refuse them a job.
And for some reason people still trust the government to do everything. I just don’t get it.
