Judge Blocks Parts of Arizona Immigration Law Updated: 1 hour 13 minutes ago Print Text Size EmailMore Amanda Myers and Jacques Billeaud AP PHOENIX (July 28) -- 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. U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton ruled that those sections should be put on hold until the courts resolve the issues. Other provisions of the law, many of them procedural and slight revisions to existing Arizona immigraiton statute, will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. The ruling came just as police were making last-minute preparations to begin enforcement of the law and protesters were planning large demonstrations to speak out against the measure. At least one group planned to block access to federal offices, daring officers to ask them about their immigration status. The volume of the protests will likely be turned down a few notches because of the ruling by Bolton, a Clinton appointee who suddenly became a crucial figure in the immigration debate when she was assigned the seven lawsuits filed against the Arizona law. Lawyers for the state contend the law was a constitutionally sound attempt by Arizona - the busiest illegal gateway into the country - to assist federal immigration agents and lessen border woes such as the heavy costs for educating, jailing and providing health care for illegal immigrants. Opponents argued the law will lead to racial profiling, conflict with federal immigration law and distract local police from fighting more serious crimes. The U.S. Justice Department, civil rights groups and a Phoenix police officer had asked the judge for an injunction to prevent the law from being enforced. "There is a substantial likelihood that officers will wrongfully arrest legal resident aliens under the new (law)," Bolton ruled. "By enforcing this statute, Arizona would impose a 'distinct, unusual and extraordinary' burden on legal resident aliens that only the federal government has the authority to impose." The law was signed by Republican Gov. Jan Brewer in April and immediately revived the national debate on immigration, making it a hot-button issue in the midterm elections. The law has inspired rallies in Arizona and elsewhere by advocates on both sides of the immigration debate. Some opponents have advocated a tourism boycott of Arizona. It also led an unknown number of illegal immigrants to leave Arizona for other American states or their home countries. Federal authorities who are trying to overturn the law have argued that letting the Arizona law stand would create a patchwork of immigration laws nationwide that would needlessly complicate the foreign relations of the United States. Federal lawyers said the law is disrupting U.S. relations with Mexico and other countries and would burden the agency that responds to immigration-status inquiries. Brewer's lawyers said Arizona shouldn't have to suffer from America's broken immigration system when it has 15,000 police officers who can arrest illegal immigrants. http://www.aolnews.com/nation/article/judge-blocks-parts-of-arizona-immigration-law/19572118  Very wise judge.

It is not Obama's fault that the law is racially biased, he didn't make the law nor vote on it.
he was always against it from the start. him and his wife.... if he cared, he coulda made sure it passed, but he's just playing his election games right now. |

How could he know that the law was going to be racist before it got made? And even if he could know that, he and I and everyone else would have to hope people wouldn't vote to make racism legal. So one couldn't really be against it until we realized that people were going to vote to make racism legal. So now it will be struck down and set a precedence for all states. |

My understanding from certain people is that objecting to this law doesn't get the hispanic vote. So I believe that might be a matter of perception. |

Yea it does when you have groups like ACORN registering those very illegals to vote. |

Stupid games at that the polling shows that over 70% of voters arrove of the Arizona Law. My experience has been that most people do not realize that the law is racist until they read it and then those who care about those kinds of things do not support it and those who don't care about others not like them continue to support it regardless. The polls are not very accurate as usual is my point. |

America was doomed from the start. Might as well open all boarders and let anyone in right? What the hell. People visiting America have rights, people here on visas have rights, people here the legal way have rights. But this whole racial profiling thing is bullcrap. Call a spade a spade. It isn't Germans that are jumping our boarder, its mexicans. If you are breaking the law then you need to pay the price. Unfortunatly taking them back does nothing since our borders are not secure. If you want no illegal immigration, then I guess we need to build something like prison across our borders. It's too bad these people are theives and take WIC and Welfare and medicaid. Oh well, fudge it right?

Oh well, fudge it right? mexicans are the majority here illegally yes, but that is a bit like saying the others shouldnt matter and its assuming that everyone of them snuck in when in fact a good portion(might be more than half, I have to look it up again) did get PERMISSION to be here and entered legally but allowed their papers to expire,,, profiling is not the way as we have MANY legal mexican immigrants and even mexican CITIZENS,, their race should not make them suspect, make the identification procedures the same for EVERYONE(in any case where ID would be the NORMAL procedure for ANY american),,, |
