In a 5-3 vote on Thursday, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld an Arizona Immigration Law called the Legal Arizona Workers Act, passed in 2007 that allows the state to punish businesses that hire illegal aliens, citing compliance and rights under a 1986 federal immigration reform measure.
A very good step in the right direction.
Many other states are putting their own anti-immigration laws into motion.
Meanwhile, 11 Republican state lawmakers from Colorado traveled to Arizona this week to meet with officials there on how to craft legislation for the Mile High state.
In all, there are 22 states considering copycat legislation from the Arizona law against illegal immigration
Those states that don't have such laws will become a haven for illegals. That is until those states learn the downside of being in such a situation and pass their own laws.
Oh, and Obama (not surprisingly) seems to have a problem with this.
In the lawsuit challenging the Arizona law, the Obama administration said the United States should not have a “patchwork” of 50 different immigration laws.
Never mind that the Arizona bill simply copies the federal law, but allows the state to actually enforce it.
It's only a matter of time before the US protects it's borders, and its people, the way it should have been doing all along.
