SENATE BILL 1070

For your reading pleasure here is the entire bill. Please let me know if you find the parts where it states that all brown people should be questioned.

For you Dirty Libs out there, you should be able to find them easily because MSNBC and the other "unbiased" media outlets keep saying it's RIGHT IN THE BILL.

Well I can not find it. Libs out there who disagree with this bill need to educate me. I know not all Libs are against this bill. 70% of Arizona can not be for this without there being a lot of libs and Hispanics for the bill.

I say we talk about this honestly. If you think this is some Nazi bullshit, then show me. I am no Nazi and will fight anything that is racist.

I do not believe illegal immigration is a race issue. However, the only way for the opposition to fight it is by calling it racist. Granted, the majority of illegal immigrants are of a certain skin color, but that does not give them a free pass to break the laws that this country and now this state have imposed.

This law affects only the people who are not legally in this country, therefore they have no rights in this country other than those that are inalienable.

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Just work for them in your own country or feel free to sign up at the door and wait for admittance.

15 person who employs or contracts with an unauthorized alien to perform the

16 labor, the employer violates this subsection.

22 employs an unauthorized alien, the attorney general or county attorney shall

23 investigate whether the employer has violated subsection A of this section.

24 If a complaint is received but is not submitted on a prescribed complaint

27 not be construed to prohibit the filing of anonymous complaints that are not

29 attorney shall not investigate complaints that are based solely on race,

30 color or national origin. A complaint that is submitted to a county attorney

12 unauthorized alien employee is or was employed by the employer. The county

13 attorney shall not bring an action against any employer for any violation of

14 subsection A of this section that occurs before January 1, 2008. A second

15 violation of this section shall be based only on an unauthorized alien who is

16 or was employed by the employer after an action has been brought for a

17 violation of subsection A of this section or section 23-212.01, subsection A.

18 E. For any action in superior court under this section, the court

19 shall expedite the action, including assigning the hearing at the earliest

20 practicable date.

21 F. On a finding of a violation of subsection A of this section:

22 1. For a first violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this

25 unauthorized aliens.

26 (b) Shall order the employer to be subject to a three year

27 probationary period for the business location where the unauthorized alien

28 performed work. During the probationary period the employer shall file

29 quarterly reports in the form provided in section 23-722.01 with the county

30 attorney of each new employee who is hired by the employer at the business

31 location where the unauthorized alien performed work.

32 (c) Shall order the employer to file a signed sworn affidavit with the

33 county attorney within three business days after the order is issued. The

34 affidavit shall state that the employer has terminated the employment of all

35 unauthorized aliens in this state and that the employer will not

36 intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien in this state. The

37 court shall order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses subject to

38 this subdivision that are held by the employer if the employer fails to file

39 a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney within three business days

40 after the order is issued. All licenses that are suspended under this

41 subdivision shall remain suspended until the employer files a signed sworn

42 affidavit with the county attorney. Notwithstanding any other law, on filing

43 of the affidavit the suspended licenses shall be reinstated immediately by

44 the appropriate agencies. For the purposes of this subdivision, the licenses

45 that are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all licenses that

S.B. 1070

- 8 -

1 are held by the employer specific to the business location where the

2 unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does not hold a license

3 specific to the business location where the unauthorized alien performed

4 work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's business in

5 general, the licenses that are subject to suspension under this subdivision

6 are all licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary

7 place of business. On receipt of the court's order and notwithstanding any

8 other law, the appropriate agencies shall suspend the licenses according to

9 the court's order. The court shall send a copy of the court's order to the

10 attorney general and the attorney general shall maintain the copy pursuant to

11 subsection G of this section.

12 (d) May order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses

13 described in subdivision (c) of this paragraph that are held by the employer

14 for not to exceed ten business days. The court shall base its decision to

15 suspend under this subdivision on any evidence or information submitted to it

16 during the action for a violation of this subsection and shall consider the

17 following factors, if relevant:

18 (i) The number of unauthorized aliens employed by the employer.

19 (ii) Any prior misconduct by the employer.

20 (iii) The degree of harm resulting from the violation.

21 (iv) Whether the employer made good faith efforts to comply with any

22 applicable requirements.

23 (v) The duration of the violation.

24 (vi) The role of the directors, officers or principals of the employer

25 in the violation.

26 (vii) Any other factors the court deems appropriate.

27 2. For a second violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this

28 subsection, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently

29 revoke all licenses that are held by the employer specific to the business

30 location where the unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does

31 not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized

32 alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's

33 business in general, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to

34 permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer at the

35 employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the order and

36 notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall immediately

37 revoke the licenses.

38 3. The violation shall be considered:

39 (a) A first violation by an employer at a business location if the

40 violation did not occur during a probationary period ordered by the court

41 under this subsection or section 23-212.01, subsection F for that employer's

42 business location.

43 (b) A second violation by an employer at a business location if the

44 violation occurred during a probationary period ordered by the court under

S.B. 1070

- 9 -

1 this subsection or section 23-212.01, subsection F for that employer's

2 business location.

3 G. The attorney general shall maintain copies of court orders that are

4 received pursuant to subsection F of this section and shall maintain a

5 database of the employers and business locations that have a first violation

6 of subsection A of this section and make the court orders available on the

7 attorney general's website.

8 H. On determining whether an employee is an unauthorized alien, the

9 court shall consider only the federal government's determination pursuant to

10 8 United States Code section 1373(c). The federal government's determination

11 creates a rebuttable presumption of the employee's lawful status. The court

12 may take judicial notice of the federal government's determination and may

13 request the federal government to provide automated or testimonial

14 verification pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c).

15 I. For the purposes of this section, proof of verifying the employment

16 authorization of an employee through the e-verify program creates a

17 rebuttable presumption that an employer did not knowingly employ an

18 unauthorized alien.

19 J. For the purposes of this section, an employer that establishes that

20 it has complied in good faith with the requirements of 8 United States Code

21 section 1324a(b) establishes an affirmative defense that the employer did not

22 knowingly employ an unauthorized alien. An employer is considered to have

23 complied with the requirements of 8 United States Code section 1324a(b),

24 notwithstanding an isolated, sporadic or accidental technical or procedural

25 failure to meet the requirements, if there is a good faith attempt to comply

26 with the requirements.

27 K. IT IS AN AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE TO A VIOLATION OF SUBSECTION A OF THIS

28 SECTION THAT THE EMPLOYER WAS ENTRAPPED. TO CLAIM ENTRAPMENT, THE EMPLOYER

29 MUST ADMIT BY THE EMPLOYER'S TESTIMONY OR OTHER EVIDENCE THE SUBSTANTIAL

30 ELEMENTS OF THE VIOLATION. AN EMPLOYER WHO ASSERTS AN ENTRAPMENT DEFENSE HAS

31 THE BURDEN OF PROVING THE FOLLOWING BY CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE:

32 1. THE IDEA OF COMMITTING THE VIOLATION STARTED WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT

33 OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS RATHER THAN WITH THE EMPLOYER.

34 2. THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS URGED AND INDUCED THE

35 EMPLOYER TO COMMIT THE VIOLATION.

36 3. THE EMPLOYER WAS NOT PREDISPOSED TO COMMIT THE VIOLATION BEFORE THE

37 LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS URGED AND INDUCED THE EMPLOYER TO

38 COMMIT THE VIOLATION.

39 L. AN EMPLOYER DOES NOT ESTABLISH ENTRAPMENT IF THE EMPLOYER WAS

40 PREDISPOSED TO VIOLATE SUBSECTION A OF THIS SECTION AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT

41 OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS MERELY PROVIDED THE EMPLOYER WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO

42 COMMIT THE VIOLATION. IT IS NOT ENTRAPMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR

43 THEIR AGENTS MERELY TO USE A RUSE OR TO CONCEAL THEIR IDENTITY. THE CONDUCT

44 OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND THEIR AGENTS MAY BE CONSIDERED IN DETERMINING

45 IF AN EMPLOYER HAS PROVEN ENTRAPMENT.

7 A. An employer shall not intentionally employ an unauthorized alien.

8 If, in the case when an employer uses a contract, subcontract or other

9 independent contractor agreement to obtain the labor of an alien in this

10 state, the employer intentionally contracts with an unauthorized alien or

11 with a person who employs or contracts with an unauthorized alien to perform

12 the labor, the employer violates this subsection.

13 B. The attorney general shall prescribe a complaint form for a person

14 to allege a violation of subsection A of this section. The complainant shall

15 not be required to list the complainant's social security number on the

16 complaint form or to have the complaint form notarized. On receipt of a

17 complaint on a prescribed complaint form that an employer allegedly

18 intentionally employs an unauthorized alien, the attorney general or county

19 attorney shall investigate whether the employer has violated subsection A of

20 this section. If a complaint is received but is not submitted on a

21 prescribed complaint form, the attorney general or county attorney may

22 investigate whether the employer has violated subsection A of this section.

23 This subsection shall not be construed to prohibit the filing of anonymous

24 complaints that are not submitted on a prescribed complaint form. The

25 attorney general or county attorney shall not investigate complaints that are

26 based solely on race, color or national origin. A complaint that is

27 submitted to a county attorney shall be submitted to the county attorney in

28 the county in which the alleged unauthorized alien is or was employed by the

29 employer. The county sheriff or any other local law enforcement agency may

30 assist in investigating a complaint. When investigating a complaint, the

31 attorney general or county attorney shall verify the work authorization of

32 the alleged unauthorized alien with the federal government pursuant to

33 8 United States Code section 1373(c). A state, county or local official

34 shall not attempt to independently make a final determination on whether an

35 alien is authorized to work in the United States. An alien's immigration

36 status or work authorization status shall be verified with the federal

37 government pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c). A person who

38 knowingly files a false and frivolous complaint under this subsection is

39 guilty of a class 3 misdemeanor.

40 C. If, after an investigation, the attorney general or county attorney

41 determines that the complaint is not false and frivolous:

42 1. The attorney general or county attorney shall notify the United

43 States immigration and customs enforcement of the unauthorized alien.

44 2. The attorney general or county attorney shall notify the local law

45 enforcement agency of the unauthorized alien.

S.B. 1070

- 11 -

1 3. The attorney general shall notify the appropriate county attorney

2 to bring an action pursuant to subsection D of this section if the complaint

3 was originally filed with the attorney general.

4 D. An action for a violation of subsection A of this section shall be

5 brought against the employer by the county attorney in the county where the

6 unauthorized alien employee is or was employed by the employer. The county

7 attorney shall not bring an action against any employer for any violation of

8 subsection A of this section that occurs before January 1, 2008. A second

9 violation of this section shall be based only on an unauthorized alien who is

10 or was employed by the employer after an action has been brought for a

11 violation of subsection A of this section or section 23-212, subsection A.

12 E. For any action in superior court under this section, the court

13 shall expedite the action, including assigning the hearing at the earliest

14 practicable date.

15 F. On a finding of a violation of subsection A of this section:

16 1. For a first violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this

17 subsection, the court shall:

18 (a) Order the employer to terminate the employment of all unauthorized

19 aliens.

20 (b) Order the employer to be subject to a five year probationary

21 period for the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work.

22 During the probationary period the employer shall file quarterly reports in

23 the form provided in section 23-722.01 with the county attorney of each new

24 employee who is hired by the employer at the business location where the

25 unauthorized alien performed work.

26 (c) Order the appropriate agencies to suspend all licenses described

27 in subdivision (d) of this paragraph that are held by the employer for a

28 minimum of ten days. The court shall base its decision on the length of the

29 suspension under this subdivision on any evidence or information submitted to

30 it during the action for a violation of this subsection and shall consider

31 the following factors, if relevant:

32 (i) The number of unauthorized aliens employed by the employer.

33 (ii) Any prior misconduct by the employer.

34 (iii) The degree of harm resulting from the violation.

35 (iv) Whether the employer made good faith efforts to comply with any

36 applicable requirements.

37 (v) The duration of the violation.

38 (vi) The role of the directors, officers or principals of the employer

39 in the violation.

40 (vii) Any other factors the court deems appropriate.

41 (d) Order the employer to file a signed sworn affidavit with the

42 county attorney. The affidavit shall state that the employer has terminated

43 the employment of all unauthorized aliens in this state and that the employer

44 will not intentionally or knowingly employ an unauthorized alien in this

45 state. The court shall order the appropriate agencies to suspend all

S.B. 1070

- 12 -

1 licenses subject to this subdivision that are held by the employer if the

2 employer fails to file a signed sworn affidavit with the county attorney

3 within three business days after the order is issued. All licenses that are

4 suspended under this subdivision for failing to file a signed sworn affidavit

5 shall remain suspended until the employer files a signed sworn affidavit with

6 the county attorney. For the purposes of this subdivision, the licenses that

7 are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all licenses that are

8 held by the employer specific to the business location where the unauthorized

9 alien performed work. If the employer does not hold a license specific to

10 the business location where the unauthorized alien performed work, but a

11 license is necessary to operate the employer's business in general, the

12 licenses that are subject to suspension under this subdivision are all

13 licenses that are held by the employer at the employer's primary place of

14 business. On receipt of the court's order and notwithstanding any other law,

15 the appropriate agencies shall suspend the licenses according to the court's

16 order. The court shall send a copy of the court's order to the attorney

17 general and the attorney general shall maintain the copy pursuant to

18 subsection G of this section.

19 2. For a second violation, as described in paragraph 3 of this

20 subsection, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to permanently

21 revoke all licenses that are held by the employer specific to the business

22 location where the unauthorized alien performed work. If the employer does

23 not hold a license specific to the business location where the unauthorized

24 alien performed work, but a license is necessary to operate the employer's

25 business in general, the court shall order the appropriate agencies to

26 permanently revoke all licenses that are held by the employer at the

27 employer's primary place of business. On receipt of the order and

28 notwithstanding any other law, the appropriate agencies shall immediately

29 revoke the licenses.

30 3. The violation shall be considered:

31 (a) A first violation by an employer at a business location if the

32 violation did not occur during a probationary period ordered by the court

33 under this subsection or section 23-212, subsection F for that employer's

34 business location.

35 (b) A second violation by an employer at a business location if the

36 violation occurred during a probationary period ordered by the court under

37 this subsection or section 23-212, subsection F for that employer's business

38 location.

39 G. The attorney general shall maintain copies of court orders that are

40 received pursuant to subsection F of this section and shall maintain a

41 database of the employers and business locations that have a first violation

42 of subsection A of this section and make the court orders available on the

43 attorney general's website.

44 H. On determining whether an employee is an unauthorized alien, the

45 court shall consider only the federal government's determination pursuant to

S.B. 1070

- 13 -

1 8 United States Code section 1373(c). The federal government's determination

2 creates a rebuttable presumption of the employee's lawful status. The court

3 may take judicial notice of the federal government's determination and may

4 request the federal government to provide automated or testimonial

5 verification pursuant to 8 United States Code section 1373(c).

6 I. For the purposes of this section, proof of verifying the employment

7 authorization of an employee through the e-verify program creates a

8 rebuttable presumption that an employer did not intentionally employ an

9 unauthorized alien.

10 J. For the purposes of this section, an employer that establishes that

11 it has complied in good faith with the requirements of 8 United States Code

12 section 1324a(b) establishes an affirmative defense that the employer did not

13 intentionally employ an unauthorized alien. An employer is considered to

14 have complied with the requirements of 8 United States Code section 1324a(b),

15 notwithstanding an isolated, sporadic or accidental technical or procedural

16 failure to meet the requirements, if there is a good faith attempt to comply

17 with the requirements.

18 K. IT IS AN AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE TO A VIOLATION OF SUBSECTION A OF THIS

19 SECTION THAT THE EMPLOYER WAS ENTRAPPED. TO CLAIM ENTRAPMENT, THE EMPLOYER

20 MUST ADMIT BY THE EMPLOYER'S TESTIMONY OR OTHER EVIDENCE THE SUBSTANTIAL

21 ELEMENTS OF THE VIOLATION. AN EMPLOYER WHO ASSERTS AN ENTRAPMENT DEFENSE HAS

22 THE BURDEN OF PROVING THE FOLLOWING BY CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE:

23 1. THE IDEA OF COMMITTING THE VIOLATION STARTED WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT

24 OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS RATHER THAN WITH THE EMPLOYER.

25 2. THE LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS URGED AND INDUCED THE

26 EMPLOYER TO COMMIT THE VIOLATION.

27 3. THE EMPLOYER WAS NOT PREDISPOSED TO COMMIT THE VIOLATION BEFORE THE

28 LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS URGED AND INDUCED THE EMPLOYER TO

29 COMMIT THE VIOLATION.

30 L. AN EMPLOYER DOES NOT ESTABLISH ENTRAPMENT IF THE EMPLOYER WAS

31 PREDISPOSED TO VIOLATE SUBSECTION A OF THIS SECTION AND THE LAW ENFORCEMENT

32 OFFICERS OR THEIR AGENTS MERELY PROVIDED THE EMPLOYER WITH AN OPPORTUNITY TO

33 COMMIT THE VIOLATION. IT IS NOT ENTRAPMENT FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS OR

34 THEIR AGENTS MERELY TO USE A RUSE OR TO CONCEAL THEIR IDENTITY. THE CONDUCT

35 OF LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS AND THEIR AGENTS MAY BE CONSIDERED IN DETERMINING

36 IF AN EMPLOYER HAS PROVEN ENTRAPMENT.

37 Sec. 8. Section 23-214, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to read:

38 23-214. Verification of employment eligibility; e-verify

39 program; economic development incentives; list of

40 registered employers

41 A. After December 31, 2007, every employer, after hiring an employee,

42 shall verify the employment eligibility of the employee through the e-verify

43 program AND SHALL KEEP A RECORD OF THE VERIFICATION FOR THE DURATION OF THE

44 EMPLOYEE'S EMPLOYMENT OR AT LEAST THREE YEARS, WHICHEVER IS LONGER.

S.B. 1070

- 14 -

1 B. In addition to any other requirement for an employer to receive an

2 economic development incentive from a government entity, the employer shall

3 register with and participate in the e-verify program. Before receiving the

4 economic development incentive, the employer shall provide proof to the

5 government entity that the employer is registered with and is participating

6 in the e-verify program. If the government entity determines that the

7 employer is not complying with this subsection, the government entity shall

8 notify the employer by certified mail of the government entity's

9 determination of noncompliance and the employer's right to appeal the

10 determination. On a final determination of noncompliance, the employer shall

11 repay all monies received as an economic development incentive to the

12 government entity within thirty days of the final determination. For the

13 purposes of this subsection:

14 1. "Economic development incentive" means any grant, loan or

15 performance-based incentive from any government entity that is awarded after

16 September 30, 2008. Economic development incentive does not include any tax

17 provision under title 42 or 43.

18 2. "Government entity" means this state and any political subdivision

19 of this state that receives and uses tax revenues.

20 C. Every three months the attorney general shall request from the

21 United States department of homeland security a list of employers from this

22 state that are registered with the e-verify program. On receipt of the list

23 of employers, the attorney general shall make the list available on the

24 attorney general's website.
