Immigration lawsuits
Towns, organizations to sue Arizona

The controversy Senate Bill 1070 ignited nearly a month ago is still fresh in the minds of those opposed to it. Now, two local towns are firing back at the state of Arizona in a lawsuit announced this week. San Luis and Somerton will try to stop the new immigration law from taking effect because they say it's unconstitutional and will lead to racial profiling.

State Senator Amanda Aguirre says she's okay with the lawsuit and supports towns' rights to go to court. Senator Aguirre works in Somerton as the CEO of the Regional Center for Border Health, so the community's fight hits close to home.

Aguirre admits she's worried racial profiling will be inevitable if the law is allowed to stand. Two years ago, the state senator says she pushed for a national identity document known as a Smart Driver's License designed to help authorities figure out the legal status of people they come into contact with, but Aguirre says her proposal never made it to a hearing.

Those opposed to the law won't be fighting alone, however. The Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund (MALDEF) will soon go to court in a separate civil action. The group will be joined by other organizations such as the ACLU and NAACP just to name a few.

I'm Canadian and I was laughing when I read this. People who are in a country illegally, using their healthcare, housing etc etc are furious with this Bill is utter RUBBISH. Get out of the country and re-enter the way everyone else should. The Legal documented way so that each individual person PAYS his or her taxes.
The thought of people demonstrating and fighting over this is amazing... also this has nothing to do with racial profiling if you're actually a valid resident.

Well, there wouldn't be a plight if they followed the rule of law.

Well, there wouldn't be a plight if they followed the rule of law.

Its a lame argument lacking merit.

The problem is that it makes you anti-illegal people all excited but it violates everything this country stands for. Sorry but the solution is not going to be easy.

Mexico decriminalized "illegal immigration" in 2008. We could do the same and at the same time make it easier for immigrants seeking employment to come and go back and forth across the border as temporary workers. Everyone has human rights, immigrant, citizen, "illegal" immigrants included.

Where the human rights of the millions of American Children who are falling behind scholastically in the world because they are slowing the education to teach illegals who can't speak English. What about the human rights of the person who died in the ER but couldn't get seen right away because it was packed by illegals, or take that same Hospital that had to close it's doors and lay off every one because the illegals don't pay, or the Families that have been killed on our highway by illegals, or the millions of people who have had their identities stolen by illegals. I say anyone who supports illegals need to be arrested for obstruction of justice.

NOTHING Can Stop This

Not LaRaza
Not LULAC
Not MALDEF
Not The ACLU
Not Even The Federal Government

This Law Was METICULOUSLY Crafted
Within The Constitutional Framework

NO ARGUEMENT Can Undo It

They Can File All The Lawsuits And Injunctions They Want

It's pure B.S. and Dem propaganda. These politically correct imbeciles want to enforce immigration law like they enforce travel security rules at the airport??? No profiling. We are looking for Islamic extremists while patting down 75-80 year old white grandmothers at airports. Prior to one of my flights, security gave the "wand" treatment to football Hall of Famer Emmit Smith (wearing a suit). After Dancing With The Stars, I guess they figured he was a likely suspect for terrorism, eh? Now, bumbling govt. employees are implementing/enforcing the same type of idiotic policies with regard to enforcement of immigration law?

The level of idiocy driven by political correctness is absolutely appalling, but that's government, right??? Misguided, inefficient, and always expensive.

Immigration law must be enforced. Current policy is a slap in the face of every immigrant who cared enough to honor this country's law and saw fit to obtain the privilege of U.S. citizenship status through the appropriate legal channels.

Most illegal immigrants have no intention whatsoever of becoming an American and assimilating to America's "Melting Pot." They want money to build a better life back in their home country. They are economic leeches, and little else (and that applies to the "good" illegals, those who are not hardened criminals stalking victims in the U.S.). The immigrants that were processed through Ellis Island in New York harbor were a totally different breed who sought opportunity and a new life as AMERICANS. They helped to build the American spirit which is, unfortunately, experiencing a steep decline. The enemy is within. America is in decline and we need to change course immediately to preserve the future.
