"My biggest problem with the guest worker program is we already have a work visa program. If people want to come to the United States on a work visa all they have to do is go to the consulate in their home country," LaFave said. BY PATRICK PARKINSON Of the Record staff Boycott Other states are watching as lawmakers in Utah enter the national immigration debate by approving a guest worker program and Arizonalike enforcement measures for people who are living in the country illegally. The legislation could require police officers and deputies check the immigration status of those stopped for serious crimes. Rep. Joel Briscoe, a Democrat who represents a chunk of the Snyderville Basin, said he voted for the controversial guest worker program before voting against it. Briscoe explained that the final version of House Bill 116 included an enforcement component, which he could not support.

Time runs out on bill :IHE NEWSROOM: • Plan, an overarching document that guides growth in Park City. The panel could begin its discussions by the end of April. If the Planning Commission agrees the project ideas fit within the General Plan, the developers will be allowed to file a subsequent application for consideration by the panel later.

But Tony Yapias, a Latino activist in Salt Lake City, said he is against the boycott. "We learned from Arizona that their boycott didn't really help anyone. It just hurt them more than anything," Yapias said. "If I felt that we really needed a boycott I would have been the first one who called it." Legislation for migrant workers Briscoe voted for a bill that would establish an agreement with a state in Mexico to bring migrant workers into Utah. "It works legally and it also can legitimately bring in some labor that industries in Utah need," Briscoe said. The Legislature also approved the measure, House Bill 466, which was on the governor's desk on Friday. In-state tuition for immigrants State lawmakers rejected a bill that would have changed a law that allows some illegal immigrants to receive in-state college tuition if they graduate from high school in Utah. The passage of House Bill 191 could have meant that some students would no longer qualify for lower tuition rates. The Legislature did not approve the bill. Driving privilege cards This year, an effort in the Legislature to repeal driving privilege cards failed. Illegal immigrants who obtain Utah driving privilege cards are allowed to operate motor vehicles in the state. Senate Bill 138 would place new requirements on those obtaining or renewing the driving permits. Applicants would need to submit fingerprints and a photograph to the state. The fingerprints would be compared with criminal databases, according to S.B. 138. from the individual lots. The City Council also requested information about creating receiving zones at Snow Park and in the Prospector commercial district. Nobody testified during a hearing, and there has not been widespread public interest in the discussions. Another hearing is tentatively scheduled on March 31. Instituting a program allowing the shifts is seen as being critical to a long-sought conservation deal for all or part of the Treasure acreage. Negotiating teams from City Hall and the Sweeneys are trying to craft a deal. Mike Sweeney, a member of the family involved in the negotiations with City Hall, attended the meeting but did not address the City Council.
