Immigration: Should Feds Sue Utah Over New Immigration Rules?

"Immigration: Should feds sue Utah over new immigration rules?," by Sandra Hernandez. April 22, 2011.

Lamar Smith

The Department of Justice was asked U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith to sue Utah for their new immigration law that allowed illegal immigrants to work in the state and give more power to the police force to check the immigration status of those arrested. He states that such a law should go into court for it is unconstitutional.  Utah Gov. Gary Herbert fights back saying that it would be a waste of time doing this, and that it's better to use the time between now and 2013 to address immigration issues.
