- Utah Conservatives Make Compact Against Arizona-Style Law
- [Change.org - Gabriela Garcia]
The "Utah Compact" was signed on the same day, November 11, that pilgrims (ahem, undocumented immigrants) signed the Mayflower Compact in 1620, the first guidelines for governing Plymouth. It was introduced in response to Utah Rep. Stephen Sandstrom’s draft of an Arizona SB1070-copycat bill…
The compact rejects such a law, and suggests five points that should guide immigration policy in Utah: immigration as a federal policy issue, law enforcement resources focused on dangerous criminal activity rather than civil immigration violations, keeping families together and policies that focus on "the health, education and well-being of all Utah children," recognizing the positive economic role of immigrants, and humane treatment of immigrants.
