Big Sis at Homeland Security we won’t help Arizona police – Who cares about Supreme Court
The Obama administration said Monday it is suspending existing agreements with Arizona police over enforcement of federal immigration laws, and said it has issued a directive telling federal authorities to decline many of the calls reporting illegal immigrants that the Homeland Security Department may get from Arizona police. Administration officials, speaking on condition they not be named, told reporters they expect to see an increase in the number of calls they get from Arizona police — but that won’t change President Obama’s decision to limit whom the government actually tries to detain and deport. “We will not be issuing detainers on individuals unless they clearly meet our defined priorities,” one official said in a telephone briefing. The official said that [...]
President Obama statement on the Supreme Court’s Ruling on Arizona v. the United States
Statement by the President on the Supreme Court’s Ruling on Arizona v. the United States I am pleased that the Supreme Court has struck down key provisions of Arizona's immigration law. What this decision makes unmistakably clear is that Congress must act on comprehensive immigration reform. A patchwork of state laws is not a solution to our broken immigration system – it’s part of the problem. At the same time, I remain concerned about the practical impact of the remaining provision of the Arizona law that requires local law enforcement officials to check the immigration status of anyone they even suspect to be here illegally. I agree with the Court that individuals cannot be detained solely to verify their immigration status. No American should ever live under a [...]

Gov. Brewer says Legislature may tweak' Arizona law
Gov. Jan Brewer said the Legislature may "tweak" SB 1070 when it convenes in January to address the federal judge's concerns about the law. For example, U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton had singled out a provision requiring that every person arrested in the state be held until their immigration status is determined. Brewer's lawyer had told the judge that the sentence was "inartfully" written and should only apply to suspected illegal immigrants. The law was already significantly narrowed once before in response to pressure from opponents. After Brewer signed the legislation in April, she accepted last-minute revisions from the Legislature. The law had required police to determine the immigration status of people they interact with whom they suspect are in the country [...]
The Radicalism of the Anti-Arizona Suit
If nothing else, the state of Arizona has smoked out the Obama administration. To make the case that the Arizona immigration law conflicts with, and therefore is preempted by, federal law, the Justice Department has to make an extraordinary claim — that the federal laws as written don’t matter so much. The drafters of the Arizona statute, S.B. 1070, were careful to mimic specific federal laws, but that’s not good enough. The state’s law would pass constitutional muster only if it tracked exactly with the executive’s enforcement priorities. As the suit puts it, “S.B. 1070’s mandatory enforcement scheme will conflict with and undermine the federal government’s careful balance of immigration enforcement priorities and objectives.” In other words, such mandatory [...]
Southbound traffic Jam: Illegal Immigrants to leave Arizona due to new law
Sometimes a bill can have the desired outcome just by passing it. Seems that times are too tough for illegals in Arizona since they will be questioned about their immigration status. They are going home! yes, Illegals can't take it anymore... the new law is too much for them to handle. I am just wondering, is it possible to make the border wide open in one direction? I think we need that. This is just a joke the mainstream media is passing as news. Illegals are going to leave America because of a Law... Yeah like laws meant anything to Illegals before.
