Think tank: Utah should seek fed waiver to fix illegal immigration woes
Salt Lake Tribune 5/6 - The Sutherland Institute, a Utah-based conservative think tank, wants the state to request a federal waiver to allow it to fix Utah's illegal immigration problems.

For example, Utah could create an in-state work permit for undocumented immigrants living here. These and other ideas are discussed in the institutes's essay, "Onus or Opportunity? Conservatism and Illegal Immigration in Utah," which was released Monday to coincide with Cinco de Mayo.
