Judge Blocks Heart and Soul of Immigration Law
In a move that was surprising to many experts who felt the Arizona immigration law was more than constitutionally sound—heck, even more constitutional than the federal law after which it was modeled—a federal judge ruled on Wednesday to block its most robust provisions.
Naturally, some are calling it a victory for the Obama administration, liberal Democrats and civil rights activists. But conservative political commentator, blogger and part-time talk show host, Steve Bussey, says it’s a “sad” defeat for the America that was founded on blind justice, the rule of law and a model of government built to serve the people, not itself.
Most notable among the provisions that were blocked was the requirement of state and local law enforcement officers to determine an individual’s immigration status if stopped for some other law violation inside Arizona state lines. For all intents and purposes, that was the teeth of Arizona’s effort to ratchet up its security against crime perpetrated by illegal immigrants and Mexican drug runners.
In his blog released immediately after the ruling (see the link below), Bussey cuts right to the contradictions that expose the real intent behind the White House’s lawsuit:
“Right now in America, we have the federal government sending in excess of $17 million to Texas to aid state and local law enforcement agencies in enforcing federal immigration law, while that same federal government sues Arizona for enforcing immigration law. Thousands of law enforcement officers from around the nation are trained by the Immigration Customs Enforcement Agency to enforce federal immigration law, while we sue Arizona. Rhode Island enforces federal immigration law, while we sue Arizona for enforcing federal immigration law.
This is not about civil rights or profiling because the federal government did not argue that in court. This is about nothing less than the politics of power, race baiting and the balkanization of America. Your individual liberty and national sovereignty are being sold in order that the Democrat Party might garner more votes in future elections.”
