A federal judge on Wednesday blocked some of the toughest provisions in the Arizona immigration law, putting on hold the state's attempt to have local police enforce federal immigration policy.
Though the rest of the law is still set to go into effect Thursday, the partial injunction on SB 1070 means Arizona, for the time being, will not be able to require police officers to determine the immigration status of anyone they stop or arrest.
U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton also struck down the section of law that makes it a crime for someone not to carry immigration registration papers and the provision that makes it a crime for an illegal immigrant to seek or perform work.
Click here to read the ruling.
In all, Bolton struck down four sections of the law, the ones that opponents called the most controversial. Bolton said she was putting those sections on hold until the courts resolve the issues.
The ruling said the Obama administration, which sought the injunction, is likely to "succeed on the merits" in showing the above provisions are preempted by federal law.

WTF IS GOING ON WITH THIS COUNTRY??
I'm really at a loss for words. Can not one state enact some ****ing laws to protect itself and benefit the nation without some liberal hack tossing it out the window? Who the hell do these people think they are?
I hope Arizona says "Up yours" and just does it anyway. This makes me sick.

The request for injunction is not a formal request to have the law thrown out, which is what the law suit is for. The injuction request is basically Obama asking a judge to tell the state not to carry out the law until the law suit is settled.
What gets me about the law is that they are arguing that since it's already a federal law that you can't seek employment as an illegal immigrant, it's considered "handled" in a sense.
wtf, there are federal laws covering nearly everything a state law covers, from homicide on down the line. So I guess by their same logic, we shouldn't enforce other state laws that are covered by federal law. Guess I should go take a vacation then.
Thanks for closing the other thread, Chief :) So are you expecting things to get even crazier down there in the coming days??? I was hearing they're expecting lots of protestors from both sides. Is your state about to become a war zone....I mean even moreso than it already is? Wanna hear something funny?

I have no way of knowing how any protests will go now that the criminals got their way, at least on a portion of the law. Those supporting SB1070 have not indicated or previously displayed any civil disobedience, so I would not expect any problems out of them. In any event, I would expect more problems in the Phoenix metro area than in our jurisdiction, but if they come, we will deal with them.
We have a very well trained and equipped Mobile Field Force who has experience with the Hell’s Angels Prison Run and the strikes in the copper mines. These punks bused in from California will be easy to deal with.
Elton John quote:
"We are all very pleased to be playing in Arizona. I have read that some of the artists won't come here. They are (expletive)wits! Let's face it: I still play in California, and as a gay man I have no legal rights whatsoever. So what's the (expletive) with these people?"

I always have a lot of energy for some reason.

That is such a mind-f**k from a logic standpoint.
And now that the Administration says they don't want the state doing their job, wonder if it's too much to ask if they could please get off their a**es and do it now!! Even though I'm not affected personally down there (though the implication of people getting to just ignore the law wholesale affects all of us), I look at this border problem from the standpoint of terrorists easily sauntering in. Wait till an incident happens and watch how fast people pull their heads out of the sand. Ok, off my soapbox now :)

Ya know, these judges that make these decisions are not the ones that have to live in the neighborhoods or arrest the illegal aliens that have raped, molested, kidnapped, robbed, murdered or stole from people. I also highly doubt that they have to shop in the neighborhoods where dirty filthy baby diapers litter the parking lots of the walmart or get into traffic collisions with unlicensed drunk drivers.

What pisses me off is the federal judge stopped the state from requiring all immigrants to carry their immigration documents at all times. I guess the judge forgot that they are already required to carry them at all times in every state.
8 USC 1304 (e) Personal possession of registration or receipt card; penalties Every alien, eighteen years of age and over, shall at all times carry with him and have in his personal possession any certificate of alien registration or alien registration receipt card issued to him pursuant to subsection (d) of this section. Any alien who fails to comply with the provisions of this subsection shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and shall upon conviction for each offense be fined not to exceed $100 or be imprisoned not more than thirty days, or both.

obama hates America. It is as simple as that.
Ok so lemme just get this straight...
Illegals don't have to carry their supposed "immigration documents", they can drive around with no license, and can legally seek work.
However: It is illegal for me to employ an illegal immigrant, I must identify myself if stopped by police, and I'm required to carry license, registration, and proof of insurance when I'm out driving around.
DOES THIS MAKE ANY FRIGGIN' SENSE AT ALL?

FALSE. If stopped while driving a vehicle, they are required to provide a driver's license, registration and insurance, just like anybody else. No license, no drive. The car gets towed. That happens if you're legal, illegal, whatever. Nobody is "allowing" unlicensed driving, that's just nonsense.
When it comes to unlicensed, suspended or revoked drivers of ANY background, I've found the worst thing we can do about it is impound the car.. because now, they're on foot.
However: It is illegal for me to employ an illegal immigrant, I must identify myself if stopped by police, and I'm required to carry license, registration, and proof of insurance when I'm out driving around.
DOES THIS MAKE ANY FRIGGIN' SENSE AT ALL?
Yes. You're a law-abiding citizen. Those are the things driving legally require. The cops don't allow people to drive without a license, just because they don't speak English or are illegal immigrants.
By the same token, if you're stopped while on foot, you're not required to produce identification. Under some circumstances, you may be required to verbally identify yourself, and you may be subject to further ID processes if you're placed under arrest.
You're mixing up circumstances about being "stopped". Stopped while walking and stopped while driving have different rules. That's because driving motor vehicle is a privilege, while just walking is a right.

I do have to admit that the part about having to prove citizenship when stopped by the police is a little scary to me. That's getting close to requiring a national ID card to be carried all the time.
I'm all for having to prove citizenship to get a driver's license, job, etc. When I renewed my DL last year, I had to bring in my birth certificate (and no, it wasn't on parchment) and I had no problem with that. I wouldn't mind it if I applied for a job (God forbid!). But if some Hispanic guy can be checked for citizenship when he's having normal contact with the police, they can do it to me too.
Carrying ID with you is always a good idea, but it sticks in my craw just a bit if the government says I have to.

You know I luv ya, RDS...and we agree on so many things....but try living in ANY other country on this planet and try getting away with what we're allowing illegals to do. I would've been in a jail, under a jail, shot by firing squads, etc....and that's just for some misunderstanding. I know we're the world's beacon for liberty, and as an economist, I also understand how complex this issue is....as well as how guilty businesses are for part of this problem.....there are splits among liberals and splits among conservatives.....but this blatant wholesale ignoring of the law should be concern #1. IMHO. And of course my perspective is from having lived or worked in so many other countries of the world....including the Frances and other liberal areas of the world....hell, France wouldn't tolerate this for a minute. And Mexico-of all the places - is one of the worst, the f***ing hypocrites on this topic. You have no idea how scarey it is being abroad and having questions about your papers - but they have a fricken right to protect their own borders, and I support sovereign nations' right to do so. But I do acknowledge the fear of the pendulum swinging too far right. Ok, off my soapbox now......I'll go get my chill pill :chillpill:

I have no problem getting tough on illegals. When they're found, they need to be deported ASAP.
I have a problem with anyone being forced to cough up proof on a whim that they're citizens. Finding illegals isn't a problem and can be done by a lot of other methods. The government has never had a problem locating them, it's just that they don't do anything with them when they're found. They never have.
But what people, especially cops tend to forget is that anything the police can do to someone else, they can do to you too.
There are people living in places like San Antonio, Texas who are third and fourth generation Americans, but barely speak English. That's the culture of a lot of the city. Why should they have to carry proof of citizenship when I don't?
Edited to add:
It's not just liberals. I had problems with INS through every administration, including Reagan and Bush getting them to respond to illegal immigrants. We arrest them all the time and unless it's a felony charge, they're going to be released back into society. It happens everyday. It's frankly a budgetary problem and always has been. Jacking up people on the street isn't going to give ICE more money to send their butts back.

SB 1070 DID NOT require American citizens to carry and provide identification. It simply supplemented federal law that already requires non-citizens, legally in the United States, to carry and provide identification upon demand at all times. Arizona just wanted to make it a state misdemeanor so we could do something with them since the feds won't/can't.
This is one of the misguided and emotional talking points that the protestors and media have been jumping on without reading and digesting the statute, including the President and his Attorney General when they ran their pie holes without having even read the law. (Not accusing you, Brother, of running your pie hole. Just trying to set it straight.)

One more little thing that an awful lot of people seem to overlook.
We were required, under SB1070, to articulate reasonable suspicion that another civil or criminal code violation had been committed by the person of interest before we could even begin inquiring about legal status. We underwent training for this (strict in my agency with a POST certified instructor required to proctor each session) and it was hammered in that any "profiling" based upon ethnicity would result in discipline up to termination. This was not being taken lightly and it was to be administered fairly and lawfully. We were fully prepared to put our own boot up a deputy’s *** if they were identified as intentionally violating "good faith investigation" on this issue.
The feds and libs will have one believing we (Arizona cops) were wanting to wear jackboots and screaming sieg heil . It couldn't be further from the truth. As a matter of fact, over 200 of our uniformed staff are Hispanic, and “they” would have you think we are racist. BS.!

You may remember some of my posts a few years ago in which I mentioned that we (Arizona) understood migrant workers and they got the "wink and nod" because they worked hard, took care of their families and kept a low profile. It has changed, dramatically; to a segment that demands benefits, is behind vicious drug and human smuggling cartels and displays total disregard for social laws and norms in the bailiwick they have illegally entered.

No disagreement with that from me. I would imagine that at least 90% of the illegal drugs here come from Mexico and is transported by illegals.
My problem and apparent misconception was that old Mexican-American families could be rousted by this law. My bad.

I'd also like to point out that my first interdiction stop involved a carload of illegals carrying VERY good fake documents....so good they got past the main BP checkpoint here in my area. Only reason they didn't get away scot free is because the THP is the baddest MoFo's in this state :)

I'd also like to point out that my first interdiction stop involved a carload of illegals carrying VERY good fake documents....so good they got past the main BP checkpoint here in my area. Only reason they didn't get away scot free is because the THP is the baddest MoFo's in this state :)
So fricken frustrating, Chevy. Another thing that's driving me crazy is the "spin" people are putting on the stats (remember Chef_Au how I said I like your quote of "lies, damn lies, and statistics"?). From a numbers standpoint, YES, crossings APPEAR to be dropping, crime appears to be dropping, certain numbers are dropping. But OF COURSE when our economy goes into a retraction and has less jobs, illegals are not going to pour over at the extremely high level they're pouring over at, but pour over at a moderately high level. It's still HIGH. It's still unacceptable. It doesn't surprise me to hear that stupid spin on numbers come out of the mouth of certain people - they tend to be mathmatically challenged on a lot of issues. COSTS of things is another example.

Yeah, I don't get that either. They allow video, but not img's. Must be run by the Federal Government or sumpin'. :)

My inner child calls himself John and we have disagreements that we talk out or yell out. Sometimes he wins, Sometimes I win.
