Immigration Reform North of 37 degrees North latitude vs. South of 37 degrees

Great op-ed piece in The Washington Post today about how immigration reform north of 37 degrees north latitude differs from immigration reform south of the 37th parallel:

"Conservative Republicans here [in Utah] - and Republicans don't get much more conservative than the statehouse variety in Salt Lake - say their bill is a gauntlet thrown down to the feds for their inability to deal with illegal immigration and the nation's demand for unskilled labor."

Interesting how the redder state of Utah has a more just and tolerant immigration law than the Papers Please Law to its south in Arizona.
