Hard to believe this would even be challenged.

Yes, it is hard to believe. Here is the narrative:

Arizona passed the Legal Arizona Workers Act in 2007, allowing the state to suspend the licenses of businesses that "intentionally or knowingly" violate work-eligibility verification requirements. Companies would be required under that law to use E-Verify, a federal database to check the documentation of current and prospective employees. That database had been created by Congress as a voluntary, discretionary resource.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce filed a lawsuit against the state, arguing that federal law prohibits Arizona and other states from making E-Verify use mandatory. The group was supported by a variety of civil rights and immigration rights groups. The state countered that its broad licensing authority gives it the right to monitor businesses within its jurisdiction.

The Supreme Court simply upheld the right of the state to mandate the use of E-verify. It's unbelievable the lengths to which these "rights" groups will go to enable illegals to work here without going through the legal documentation process. What about the U.S.'s right to sovereignty and border enforcement?

High court backs Arizona immigration law that punishes businesses
