Brewer: Fight over AZ law ‘far from over’
Arizona Governor Jan Brewer said Wednesday she would swiftly appeal a judge's ruling blocking key parts of a new state immigration law, vowing to take it all the way to the Supreme Court.
"This fight is far from over. In fact, it is just the beginning, and at the end of what is certain to be a long legal struggle, Arizona will prevail in its right to protect our citizens," Brewer said in a statement. . .

Well, having a body for radio and voice for the school for the deaf, I can relate. This battle is going go one for the next year. For me, I don't understand why the Dem's are fighting this. Most Americans support AZ, all these protests are helping the AZ ecomomy, and the law is sound. In fact, the Obama administration to their credit, are starting to profile people booked into jails around the country, looking for illegals. Something like this would look good in the eyes of most people, but they choose to fight a popular law. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteThis is a case of "is the law Constitutional or not?" If it is, it will eventually get implemented. If it is NOT, it doesn't matter how many citizens are in favor of it, it can't be enacted. Not without a constitutional amendment.
ReplyDeleteIf it is true that you have to break the law FIRST, before they can say "Papers Please," I don't have much problem with it. That isn't how it was framed when they first announced it. If they can just look at you, or hear your voice, and THERE is your 1st cause, your reasonable suspicion. . .that is flat out wrong.
I almost always have ID on me, except for when I go walking. This law as first announced said basically that you had to always have ID, or risk jail if a cop thought you looked like you could be "illegal." Also, originally, the police were COMPELLED to do this to ANYONE they thought MIGHT be illegal. No matter how many time the law states that "racial profiling" must not be used, what criteria would they have to go on if they were COMPELLED to follow the law?
The law seems to put a lot of burden on the cops, who can even be SUED by a citizen who doesn't think they did their job right. It all seems uneccesary to me.
If you are stopped by a cop and don't have ID, tere are other ways to determine if you are here legally. If you give them your date of birth, they can match up you name with a physical description of you. So the lack ID is not a valid arguement.
ReplyDeleteBut for some reason the Obama administration is starting to crack down illegals who inhabit our local jails and that is a good thing. And tonight the Border Control made a raid on a bustation and caught a bunc of illegals and that is a good thing. Maybe Obama is finally getting it or it is a cruel election year joke.
