Supreme Court seeks White House views on hiring illegal immigrants
Monday, November 02 @ 19:19:14 EST by Dixie (390 reads) |  WASHINGTON — The Obama administration will enter the politically tricky immigration arena, courtesy of the Supreme Court .
On Monday, the court asked the administration for its views in a
challenge to an Arizona law that punishes companies for hiring illegal
aliens. Other states with large immigrant populations will watch the
next steps closely, because their own laws and ballot measures could be
on the line.
"This case involves a question of exceptional
national importance: whether state legislatures and municipal
governments may override Congress' judgment concerning United States
immigration policy," attorney Carter Phillips wrote in a legal brief.

Utah: Strike force targeting illegal immigrants lauded
Thursday, October 22 @ 02:55:46 EDT by alipac (381 reads) | A state strike force that targets illegal immigrants living in Utah who commit "major crimes" has experienced phenomenal success during its first four months in existence, according to Utah Attorney General Mark Shurtleff.
The SECURE Strike Force — staffed by six investigators, a prosecutor and a paralegal, and supported by the U.S. Attorney's Office and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement — has seized guns, drugs, thousands of fake ID cards and even dental equipment since its creation in June, Shurtleff said.

Arpaio will continue fight against illegals
Tuesday, October 06 @ 13:06:45 EDT by alipac (591 reads) | Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has vowed not
to change his policies on illegal immigration despite a change in
federal rules.
A new deal with Immigration and Customs Enforcement allows the sheriff
to screen inmates booked into the county jail for immigration status,
but does not extend to street enforcement.
"Nothing will change. Stay tuned," Arpaio told News/Talk 92-3 KTAR's Jay Lawrence Sunday night.

SC restrictions leave illegal immigrants' futures uncertain
Monday, August 03 @ 10:03:16 EDT by alipac (690 reads) | The chances for illegal immigrants to prosper in South Carolina may be dwindling as state lawmakers clamp down on college admissions and the hiring requirements for employers.
Immigrants have come to South Carolina in large numbers in a search for jobs. They found the state attractive not only for the chance to work, but also because they felt the odds were better than in border states for escaping detection by immigration authorities.

Immigration Enforcement Works! Illegal Immigrants Leaving AZ in Droves!
Thursday, July 30 @ 10:00:06 EDT by admin (827 reads) | Illegal-immigrant populace in Ariz. falls by a third, study says
The number of illegal immigrants living in
Arizona has plunged by one-third in the past two years amid a dismal
job market and stiffer enforcement of immigration laws, according to
researchers who released a new report.
Arizona saw the largest decline of any state, according to
researchers at the Center for Immigration Studies, whose report shows
that the nation's undocumented population fell nearly 14 percent from
the summer of 2007 to the first quarter of this year, following years
of steady growth.

US Chamber of Commerce asks justices to kill Ariz. rule
Thursday, July 30 @ 02:36:30 EDT by alipac (693 reads) | PHOENIX — The nation's largest business group is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to quash Arizona's employer-sanctions law, at least in part to prevent the idea from spreading.
Legal papers filed in Washington urge the justices to rule it is illegal for Arizona to punish employers who are found guilty of knowingly hiring illegal immigrants. Attorney Carter Phillips, hired by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, contends that such sanctions are pre-empted by federal law.

Sheriff's deputies may turn illegal immigrants over to BP, Gore says
Saturday, July 25 @ 15:48:34 EDT by alipac (659 reads) | Sheriff's deputies may turn illegal immigrants over to BP, Gore says
By EDWARD SIFUENTES -
Saturday, July 25, 2009 12:03 AM PDT ∞
Newly appointed San Diego County Sheriff Bill Gore says he will continue a long-standing department policy that allows his deputies to detain a suspected illegal immigrant for up to an hour while they wait for the Border Patrol.
Because deputies do not have the authority to enforce immigration laws, detaining a person for more than an hour could be considered an illegal arrest, he said. That is why the department has the one-hour rule, Gore said.
"How long you detain them becomes a legal issue," Gore said. "When does a detention become an arrest? Our lawyers who have looked at this say you're probably safe if you keep it under an hour."

MEDFORD - Two Republican legislators are hoping a package of bills that cracks down on illegal immigrants will gain support in Trenton.
"It's getting to a point where crimes are being committed, deaths are happening, illegal immigrants are taking the jobs of New Jersey citizens. We're getting to a point here where something has to be done," said Assemblyman Scott Rudder, R-8th of Medford. "It needs to be addressed and it needs to be addressed now."

AZ - Immigration enforcement bill clears early hurdle
Wednesday, June 10 @ 02:10:13 EDT by alipac (764 reads) | A proposal that would draw local police officers deeper into the fight against illegal immigration cleared its first hurdle Tuesday at the Arizona Legislature.
The bill would criminalize the presence of illegal immigrants in the state by expanding Arizona's trespassing law to let local authorities arrest those who sneak into the country. It also would prohibit cities from restricting the flow of information on a person's immigration status and allow people to sue local officials who limit their police officers' ability to fully enforce federal immigration law.
