Federal Judge Issues an Injunction Against Arizona Immigration Law SB1070

U.S. Judge Susan Bolton issued an injunction on Arizona's SB 1070,the immigration law which was signed into law on April 23,2010.It was to go into effect on July 29Th, 2010.This was in response to the U.S. Justice Department's suit that was filed on July 6Th,2010.

The injunction suspended the law's requirement that law enforcement agencies to check a person's status as to whether or not he or she are here illegally after they have been stopped for some other violation. She also put a hold on the part that required legal immigrants to carry their papers to prove that they are here legally.She also suspended the part that made it illegal to have a job if they weren't here legally.

The Feds have the right to stop anyone to check their status without having to stop them for some other violation.So Arizona's SB 1070 is actually less stringent on this matter.

It seems that the Federal Government doesn't want to enforce the law that is already on the books.The Obama administration likes to so say that the border is safer than it ever has been.That is not saying much,because for the last 25 years it has been wide open.Now what could be a reason for letting illegals to continue to come across the border anyway that they can.? Maybe, just maybe,more votes. Surely not!

In the case of Plyler v. Doe,the court ruled that we cannot conclude that the
States are without power to deter the influx of persons entering the United States against federal law, and whose numbers might have a discernible impact on traditional state concerns.

In a footnote form the Judge's ruling, it states that the police can't be forced to ask anyone about their being here legal or not.But, it says that they may do so on their own.In Lynch v. Cannatella (1987), the Fifth Circuit held that "No statute precludes other federal state, or local law enforcement agencies from taking other action to enforce this nation's immigration laws."

So here we are,at the place where the Federal either won't, or more disturbing, can't enforce our immigration laws.Thus, Arizona passed a law that would help control the illegal population and crime, and now we have an activist Judge slapping an injunction on Sb 1070.

The illegals are overwhelming our hospitals ,emergency rooms, and schools.Many hospital and emergency rooms have shut the doors due to the added financial constraints imposed on them partly due to the problem of taking care of the illegals.

It is past time for the Feds to step up the enforcement of our immigration laws.That would include securing the border first.We hear from many that we need a comprehensive plan to solve the problem.Show us that you can first secure the border and then we can talk about other reforms,such as stopping illegal hiring.

The voters of the country stopped the Congress from passing comprehensive reform( read Amnesty) back in 2007 and 2008.They will have to do it again.Call your Congressman and Senators and let them know how you feel.Everyday, if you have to.
