Idaho lawmakers have killed a measure that would crack down on employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants.
The house state affairs committee unanimously rejected A proposal yesterday that could have suspended or revoked companies' licenses for employing illegal aliens.
It’s modeled on a law in Arizona that went into effect in January.
The Arizona law has caused scores of immigrants to flee to other parts of the country or back to their homeland.
Lawmakers on the committee say they are concerned about the law's potential impact on Idaho’s economy.
