Littler’s Ian Macdonald discusses the implications for employers of the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling that several portions of Arizona's controversial immigration law were preempted by federal law. He notes that the decision means that similar immigration laws enacted in other states will soon be struck down either as a whole or in part, sparing employers the high costs of complying with a patchwork of state immigration statutes. However, he states that the ruling still leaves some big questions open for employers about what actions states are permitted to take on immigration.
