Feds Target Arizona Law
The Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit that seeks to sink the State of Arizona’s new illegal immigration law, which is slated to take effect later this month. The Feds claim the state law “is preempted by federal law and therefore violates the Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution.”
Ironic but wholly fitting that the Obama Administration would use the Constitution to protect and help harbor illegal immigrants and attack a state trying to enforce a law that federal authorities seem content to ignore.
The response from Arizona officials was immediate and took dead aim at the Obama Administration, last seen trying to sweep the 287(g) program into oblivion.
This from The Arizona Daily Star:
But Sen. Russell Pearce, R-Mesa, said the lawsuit has only one purpose: to further what he said is the policy of the Obama administration to promote amnesty for illegal immigrants.
“They are complicit,” he said of the administration. “They are aiding and abetting the enemy.”
