Utah was carefully chosen by the pro-illegal alien amnesty movement, including the government of Mexico, to serve as the jumping-off point for another national amnesty.
In 2011, the pro-amnesty movement implemented a hostile takeover of Utah, beginning with the disingenuous
Utah Compact and following up with the passage of
HB116, Utah's guestworker program. Both the compact and the guestworker programs are described by amnesty advocates as models for the nation.
