A Victory in Utah! 3-6-08 (news from ALIPAC)
We have great news to report! The hard work of our friends on the
ground and ALIPACers from around the nation has led to victories for
our cause in Mississippi and Utah! The illegal alien supporting groups
are NOT HAPPY TODAY!
Special thanks to UFIR, MFIRE, and CCII for their great work on the
ground in these states. Two bills are now headed to the Governor of
each state. We have included links to their sites at the bottom of this
message. Please contact these groups to thank them for their hard work
and to offer your support.
The Governor of Utah originally threatened to veto our bill, the bill
passed with veto proof margins and he is now expected to sign SB 81.
SB81, sponsored by Sen. Bill Hickman, R-St. George, incorporated
several measures already introduced by lawmakers and, after a few
amendments, won veto-proof majorities in the House and Senate. Among
other things, it would make it a Class A Misdemeanor to conceal,
harbor, transport or shelter undocumented immigrants but an amendment
was made to exempt charitable or humanitarian assistance. It would take
effect July 2009.
HB171 would bar people who sell alcoholic beverages from accepting
driving-privilege cards as evidence of a person's age and gun dealers
from accepting them as a form of identification. It also would require
the Driver License Division to suspend a driving card if a person's
vehicle registration is revoked.
Please call Governor John Huntsman, Jr at 801-538-1000
800-705-2464 to say "I look forward to Governor Huntsman signing Utah's
immigration enforcement bills passed by large majorities
