On Jan. 1, Arizona intends to become the first state to try to muscle its way out of its immigration problems on its own. That is when, barring a last-minute setback in court, it is to begin enforcing a new state law that harshly punishes businesses that knowingly hire undocumented immigrants. It is a two-strike law, suspending a business' license on the first offense and revoking it on the second. It is the strictest workplace-enforcement law in the United States.
The boosters of the Arizona law, including the Minutemen border vigilantes who have made "January First!" an anti-immigrant rallying cry, have a much narrower goal: the biggest purge of illegal immigrants in the Southwest since the federal government's Operation Wetback in 1954.
