Gov. Huntsman should definitely sign SB81. It passed by a wide margin in both houses and represents the will of the vast majority of Utahns. Even though it was severely watered down and implementation was delayed for more than a year, it is still a step in the right direction. It can be toughened up in the next session.
I question whether illegal workers are necessary to our economy. Statistics show that after we, the taxpayers, pay for their welfare, health care, education and, in some cases, their imprisonment, illegal workers represent a significant drain on our economy. Let's employ those who do the right thing and come here legally.
