Judge blocks parts of Arizona immigration law

PHOENIX – A federal judge on Wednesday blocked the most controversial parts of Arizona's immigration law from taking effect, delivering a last-minute victory to opponents of the crackdown.

The overall law will still take effect Thursday, but without the provisions that angered opponents — including sections that required officers to check a person's immigration status while enforcing other laws.

The judge also put on hold parts of the law that required immigrants to carry their papers at all times, and made it illegal for undocumented workers to solicit employment in public places.

U.S. District Judge Susan Bolton ruled that the controversial sections should be put on hold until the courts resolve the issues.

The ruling came just as police were making last-minute preparations to begin enforcement of the law at 12:01 a.m. Thursday and protesters were planning a large demonstrations to speak out against the measure. At least one group planned to block access to federal offices, daring officers to ask them their immigration status.

The volume of the protests will be likely be turned down a few notches because of the ruling by Bolton, a Clinton appointee who suddenly became a crucial figure in the immigration debate when she was assigned the seven lawsuits filed against the Arizona law.

Lawyers for the state contend the law was a constitutionally sound attempt by Arizona — the busiest illegal gateway into the country — to assist federal immigration agents and lessen border woes such as the heavy costs for educating, jailing and providing health care for illegal immigrants.

The opponents argued the law will lead to racial profiling, conflict with federal immigration law and distract local police from fighting more serious crimes. The U.S. Justice Department, civil rights groups and a Phoenix police officer had asked the judge for an injunction to prevent the law from being enforced.

"There is a substantial likelihood that officers will wrongfully arrest legal resident aliens under the new (law)," Bolton ruled. "By enforcing this statute, Arizona would impose a 'distinct, unusual and extraordinary' burden on legal resident aliens that only the federal government has the authority to impose."

The law was signed by Republican Gov. Jan Brewer in April and immediately revived the national debate on immigration, making it a hot-button issue in the midterm elections.

The law has inspired rallies in Arizona and elsewhere by advocates on both sides of the immigration debate. Some opponents have advocated a tourism boycott of Arizona.

It also led an unknown number of illegal immigrants to leave Arizona for other American states or their home countries.

Federal authorities who are trying to overturn the law have argued that letting the Arizona law stand would create a patchwork of immigration laws nationwide that would needlessly complicate the foreign relations of the United States. Federal lawyers said the law is disrupting U.S. relations with Mexico and other countries and would burden the agency that responds to immigration-status inquiries.

Brewer's lawyers said Arizona shouldn't have to suffer from America's broken immigration system when it has 15,000 police officers who can arrest illegal immigrants.

Take that Brewer! You too Arpaio!

Now the Feds need to step up on the reform. Hope they do it, now that they got what they wanted.

not really.. what this basically does is that it makes the tea party message hold water.. 'big government'... this was a too big government who doesn't even let individual states handle their own problem...

this was a disaster. Obama has to come up with a federal solution; but Republicans wont vote on it.. no one wants to fix this issue... congress wants to keep their job; they wont take a hard issue like this...

people who pass e-verify in AZ did it to appease republican crowd... even though the e-verify law is not getting enfroced in 13 out of the 16 counties in AZ.. we all know that republicans want the cheap labor, come on now... they have this stupid base that is soooo fking dumb... who gives a fuck about the people when tomorrow after tomorrow these people might be kicked out... make some fking money as much as u can b/c the 'people' will kick u to the curb... money makes the world go round'.

why make 170k as a senator, when u can make 1 mil for pandering to the lobbyist... dumbass stupid voters

this country is not smarter or better than most other countries... the reason people wanna come here is b/c they lived in some hell hole back home, i dont see the Germans or French coming here or the Australians... ex. people from Equador will move to a better place like Mexico, people will go where its better, not where its best...

kids are gettin' murdered in school by the Indian and Chinese kids who dont speak a word of English.... this country was smart in making everything work with money.. u wana open up a business; pay the taxes and fees, u wana get a permit; pay the price... thus everyone has a place to work on. "the same guy who makes the screw will not make the metal"...

money is green for everyone.. and the u.s did this well... and while 10 mil + Americans are out of work, many more on U-Visas and business visas are entering the U.S every year... what does that tell u?... whether legal or illegal its a way to compete with the global economy...

take it from someone that came from a communist country... when u tell people to work together for the common good, it wont work, ul say "why does he work less than me?"... when u tell people "who ever does it best and faster, gets paid the most".. then that allows people to compete with each other; thus making innovations.

money money money

There has never been communism in the world, there has been attempts, but never full communism. Communism is part of a utopian society.
