From this:
In the decision handed down Friday, Federal judge A. Wallace Tashima [of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals] says [Canyon County, Idaho] can't prove that it suffered any harm as a result of businesses hiring undocumented workers.

Canyon County commissioners claimed the undocumented workers increased the county's tab for indigent medical care, schools and jails. The appellate court found that a government entity can't sue to recoup the costs of being a government entity.
