Judge Blocks Parts Of Arizona Immigration Law


cbs5.com
A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the most controversial parts of Arizona's immigration law from taking effect, delivering a last-minute victory to opponents of the crackdown.

The overall law will still take effect Thursday, but without the provisions that angered opponents — including sections that required officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws.

The judge also put on hold parts of the law that required immigrants to carry their papers at all times, and made it illegal for undocumented workers to solicit employment in public places.

this is good news, the bill itself was not going to solve anything anyway

here is my reasoning

as i said in another thread, when you have a bug problem in your house, you don't just get rid of every bug you see on the spot, while that might work for a bug intrusion here and there, when you've got an infestation happening the solution is to call the bug man and lay out a chemical perimeter around your house which will effectively solve the problem

the illegal immigration problem in america is the same, this bill will enable police officers to stop more people based on profiling, which undoubtably will solve more illegal immigrant problems that have ALREADY immigrated here, but as long as we don't finance and focus our attention and intelligence on building up our borders and preventative measures for this problem, it will keep occuring

that is why i think this bill, racist or not, controversial or not, would not have solved our illegal immigrant probelm anyhow

all this bill was going to do was introduce into our mentality that it's ok for police and officials to question you based on how you look, or for no reason at all, ultimately these are philosophies outlined in 1984 and includes a growth of 'big brother's' powers

HOWEVER

i would like to add it is not neccessarily a good thing though, as the federal government is stating that states do not have the right to try and solve 'federal' problems, and the fact that the federal government is intervening within a states rights to govern itself in it's own rights is bad

though, in my personal opinion, the bill was not going to solve anything anyway, this is a testament to our current times

when america was founded, states were given certain rights apon which the government could not federally interfer, but i fear recent years have created the federal governments beleif that if they so choose to they can intervene in any state however they want, legally or not, they think they're the federal government so they get the final say.. which is not what was originally intended in the creation of america

so ultimately my conclusion is this, we avoided a bill that introduced 1984-like proposals, and yet we avoided it by the federal government jaming into our conciousness that it can do whatever it pleases, i don't know which is worse

No, we should not use Raid, when it will not solve the bug problem anyways . . .


Let's just let the bugs run a muck, since the exterminator could care less about the problem.

That would make sense if they were planning on securing the border. They are not doing either and pretty much don't seem to care about the border at all.. Passing laws to protect illegals is a bit counter productive.

The judge should have an expiration date stamped on his forhead.
I can't begin to cuss enough so I won't at least not here. I'm going out to the garage again. This makes twice today already.#$%@^&%

SnF for the OP

Fantastic, so because a judge wanted to feel important, and heroic, tens of thousands more iilegals wll now become a part of the American way of life.

So when the cartels gunfights spill over, more and more into U.S. soil, we'll know who's hands are stained w/ blood.

I agree, setting up a "border" is the ideal solution.

The only problem with that is the FED/POTUS REFUSE to deal with the border.

This is the main problem that effects EVERY state.

No "border" means the illegals can and do come across at will, will little or no concern that they will get in trouble.

Obama refuses to discuss border security.

Agreed, now the bill is basically worthless but all enforcement provisions have been stripped and now Arizona can't do jack to stop this.

Honestly though, given the FedGov's track record I dident expect them to allow the bill to stand. We all know they are obsessed with pandering to the Hispanics.

Yup, the judge essentially made the law a moot point, by removing all it's teeth.

./sigh Time to wake up to the fact the Fed does not have our best interests at heart, and is more interested in it's Corporate master's wishes.

Talk about giving a green light to the rest of the world.
