A description of how employers, some inside the tent of the GOP, are lobbying to resist new laws aimed at halting the hiring of illegal immigrants, appeared in the Times over the weekend. The story, linked here, refers to Oklahoma, where chambers of commerce won an order last month in federal court halting secions of a widely-publicized law requiring employer to use a federal database to check the immigrations status of new hires.

Some of the coverage of Suffolks legislative tensions is here.
