By AMANDA LEE MYERS Associated Press Writer updated 7:57 p.m. ET, Thurs., June 17, 2010
PHOENIX - Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer says she's angry over comments by Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton that the Obama administration will sue the state over its new immigration law.
In a June 8 media interview in Ecuador that began circulating Thursday in the U.S., Clinton said President Barack Obama thinks the federal government should determine immigration policy and that the Justice Department "will be bringing a lawsuit against the act."
Justice spokeswoman Tracy Schmaler declined to say whether the department would sue and that "the department continues to review the law."..................>>>>............>>>>.................http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37767756/ns/us_news/
I guess they decided this instead of sending the 1200 troops that Obama promised by yesterday ... nice of them to tell AZ before they did it. Nice also to see they've got the $ to do this while there's already 5 other Federal suits pending.

Try telling that to the cops that have been shot and the attacks on the border agents by those fictitious illegal immigrants. The bottom line is we have laws that forbid entering the United States illegally and they should be enforced. My major concern is not with the Mexican people coming here to work but the people from the middle east who have crossed the border from Mexico who may be planning biological or nuclear attacks against the US. The border should be sealed so we know who it is that's entering this country and where they are at all times and the Dems haven't got the stones to enforce the laws.
the bottom line here is that the federal government, according to the constitution, does not have the right to dictate to a state on how it should govern it's state/people.
Isn't that the reason why our founders left Britain to begin with? If our black robes (justices) are really there to protect the constitution and to uphold it, then the feds will lose.
People from all other states should be rallying for AZ, cause their state take over could be next.

So says the Schenectady resident - who wouldn't know an illegal if he saw one -Really ?
The annual Border Security Expo in downtown Phoenix, held concurrently with the chiefs of police meeting, would seem like a hotbed of support for the state's new law. A thousand attendees — federal agents, defense contractors and cops — browsed booths hawking nightscopes ("Dominate the Darkness"), automatic weapons ("He who shoots the most. The fastest. Wins.") and heavily armored all-terrain vehicles with names like the Threatstalker and the Prowler. But despite the enthusiasm for security gewgaws, there was little unanimity about SB1070 at the exposition. In his keynote speech, former ambassador to Mexico Jim Jones said the law is too fixated on hunting for people whose only crime is being in the U.S. illegally, which, he pointed out, is just a misdemeanor offense. "We don't deprive people who have committed a misdemeanor of having a life," he said.
The Federal Government Has Sovereignty Over Our National Borders.
Karl Manheim of Loyola Law School in Los Angeles and Erwin Chemerinsky of UC Irvine Law on SB1070:
The Arizona law appears to be “facially unconstitutional. States have no power to pass immigration laws because it’s an attribute of foreign affairs. Just as states can’t have their own foreign policies or enter into treaties, they can’t have their own immigration laws either.”

Wrong again Box I have stood while visiting a friend in just south of San Diego and personally watched about 20 illegals walking thru a brushy area about 6 am while most people were asleep and from what the guy who owned the house told me it is a nightly occurrence. He also told me that because of the illegals that have infested the school system it was costing the people in the district a lot more money to teach them English, hire more teachers to translate for them, and it has greatly reduced the quality of education that the students were receiving. The Federal Government controls immigration at the border but once the illegal gains access to the state it becomes a state problem and subject to state laws as well. Your argument about the law being unconstitutional may not be correct because the state is not stopping any immigrants at the border only controlling the ones that are loose within the state. The Federal Government Has Sovereignty Over Our National Borders.
The individual states of the United States do not possess the powers of external sovereignty, such as the right to deport undesirable persons, but each does have certain attributes of internal sovereignty, such as the power to regulate the acquisition and transfer of property within its borders. The sovereignty of a state is determined with reference to the U.S. Constitution, which is the supreme law of the land.
Arizona Democrats urge Obama not to sue over controversial immigration law By Sean J. Miller - 06/23/10 06:00 AM ET
Arizona Democrats facing tough reelection races are distancing themselves from the Obama administration as it prepares to file a lawsuit against the state over its controversial immigration law.
Rep. Harry Mitchell (D-Ariz.) on Monday sent a sharply worded letter to President Barack Obama urging him not to sue..............>>>>...............>>>>..............http://thehill.com/blogs/ballo.....-sue-over-border-law
This is typical of democrap knowledge and fact checking. This is what idiotic democraps come up with, and then the entire democrap establishment will circle the wagons and say "she misspoke."
This democrap woman legislator in Wisconsin thinks Arizona does not share a border with Mexico.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."

She did NOT just say what I think she said, did she??
Peggy West was elected 12th District Supervisor in 2004 and, after being reelected in 2008, is serving her second term representing 50,000 residents on Milwaukee's south side. She currently serves as 2nd Vice-Chair on the Milwaukee County Board of Supervisors. Supervisor West also has the unique distinction of being the
first Latino/Hispanic American to be elected to the Milwaukee County Board.
This is so typical of Demokratz. Not only do the states have the authority to regulate such matters within their borders, but the AZ law only reinforces existing federal law.
