Federal Judge Blocks Part of Arizona Immigration Law

Well it happened, our federal gov. is turning against the American people.

Federal Judge Blocks Part of Arizona Immigration Law
A federal judge on Wednesday granted a partial injunction requested by the federal government on the controversial Arizona immigration law, SB 1070.
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton has blocked the portion of the law that requires police officers to determine the immigration status of a person detained or arrested.

She also struck down the section of law that makes it a crime if someone fails to carry immigration registration papers and the provision that makes it a crime for an illegal immigrant to seek or perform work.

In all, Bolton struck down four sections of the law, the ones that opponents called the most controversial parts. Bolton said she was putting those sections on hold until the courts resolve the issues.

Opponents say the law will lead to racial profiling and is trumped by federal immigration law.

I am almost physically sick. Obama surrenders American territory in AZ to Mexican drug dealers and now this.

Rush Limbaugh says it will add to the anti-Democrat vote in the fall 2010 election. Let's hope so.

Arizona residents should all stop paying taxes. They are being taxed with NO representation.

And so the filth continues to defecate on the United States, its constitution and its citizens. Steel yourselves. Set your heart just that much harder against the vermin whose every step on offended soil is a hostile act against free people everywhere and whose every breath is an insult and affront. Never give up.

Supporters took solace that the judge kept portions of the law intact, including a section that bars local governments from limiting enforcement of federal immigration laws. Those jurisdictions are commonly known as "sanctuary cities."

If a federal judge knocks down sanctuary cities it is effective at the federal level where no city may create them?

"Requiring Arizona law enforcement officials and agencies to determine the immigration status of every person who is arrested burdens lawfully present aliens because their liberty will be restricted while their status is checked," Bolton wrote.

Doesn't this say that the federal government's project of fingerprinting prisoners is illegal?

I just read it as I see it.

The local pro illegal immigration crowd showed up at the Redlands Market Night last night. Maybe 50 people, mostly the college LaRaza crowd with some older folks mixed in. They gave a couple speeches with a megaphone and then held hands and sang a song. It lasted maybe 1/2 hour and the Redlands PD just watched. No counter demonstrators sighted. KCAL CH9 showed up after the protest left and when they heard it was boring they didn't even want to see my tape. .

Welcome.

On the protest last night, I guess I missed all the drama. The protesters were doing mock arrests in another part of the city to show the public how the poor illegals will feel when the racist Nazi PD stops them and asks for ID. More on the protest at the link that will leave you all weepy.
